  3. Information found for Anthony Gordon Henry BOXALL
    The photographer Tony Boxall, who has died aged 81, was best known for his pictures of a Gypsy family taken in the 1960s and published decades later in his book Gypsy Camera. One day in 1964, Tony overtook a Gypsy couple riding a horse and cart in a lane near Horley, Surrey. The man shouted abuse at Tony when he realised that Tony had stopped to take photographs of him. After he had driven away, Tony decided to find the couple, apologise and give them copies of the photographs. After several weekends, he tracked them down. Tony was then invited to take more photos of Jim and Louise Vincent and their family, but only in return for a cigarette and with a warning that the dogs might bite him.
    He took many photographs of the Vincents between 1964 and 1968. Unlike the Vincents, many Gypsies and Travellers had by then motorised and were beginning to prosper, living in modern trailers and with new roles. In the Vincents' traditional horse-drawn way of life, it was becoming difficult to make very much money as the demand for their handmade goods, such as clothes pegs, was disappearing, and their wagons were worn out.
    The Vincents lived mainly from collecting scrap iron and metal and rags for recycling. Tony's photographs show that despite having no amenities such as electricity, no access to education and limited access to medical care, they were a loving, stable and devoted family. The pictures also highlight their love of animals, particularly the children's obvious affection for dogs, bantams and guinea pigs.
    Tony Boxall
    Boxall took up photography while runnning a betting shop in Horley, Surrey.
    Tony's photographs paradoxically combined a spontaneity with the sense that he had worked painstakingly in producing the portraits. Around 100 of the photographs appeared in Gypsy Camera, published to critical acclaim in 1992 by Creative Monochrome, a specialist publisher in Croydon. Tony had wanted to produce this book for some years but did not feel that he knew enough about Gypsies to write an adequate commentary.
    A mutual friend, Denis Harvey, suggested Tony might ask me to write something. Although I was not a Gypsy, I had travelled in the early 1960s with horse-drawn wagons and knew at first hand what the life was like during that period. We met and I was very excited when I saw Tony's work. He was also a most convivial companion, full of enthusiasm for whatever he enjoyed. He treasured the fact that Jim Vincent was buried with a copy of Tony's book in his coffin.
    Tony was born in Redhill, Surrey, into a large family. Although he won a scholarship to the local grammar school, his parents could not afford his uniform and he was forced to forgo the opportunity. Leaving school at 14, during the second world war he worked in a rocket factory and then on building sites while attending evening classes at Redhill College, gaining City & Guilds qualifications in technical drawing, maths and carpentry.
    After national service in the army, he spent most of the 1950s employed by a bookmaker. In 1953 he married Eve Goldsmith. In the early 1960s, he became a director of the firm and began to run their new betting shop in Horley.
    It was in the betting shop that Tony suddenly became involved with photography, a subject he had never had any interest in. He had never even taken a photograph. One day a punter asked if he could settle a gambling debt with a camera. This was a 6x6 Zeiss Ikon Nettar and Tony asked his boss whether or not to accept it. He told Tony he could have the camera and use it to take photos of his and Eve's two young sons, Colin and Kevin.
    A neighbour showed Tony how to use the camera and develop his own film. Tony became a prolific photographer and began to win competitions in newspapers and magazines. By this time he was using a Mamiya C33 twin lens reflex camera, which was easier to operate, and he proved to have an instinctive eye for a good shot.
    Tony became an associate of the Royal Photographic Society in 1966 and a fellow in 1969. For nearly two years he tried to become a professional, working all over Europe, but despite supplying photographic agencies with more than 50,000 prints he was unable to make a decent living. In the late 1960s he became an accountant and fundraiser for the Newspaper Press Fund, now called the Journalists' Charity, based in Dorking, Surrey. With his knowledge of the bookmaking fraternity, he was invaluable in getting their support for fundraising events.
    After his retirement Tony was able to devote more time to golf and he founded the seniors' section at the Effingham Park club in Surrey. Eve died in 2009. He had promised her he would write his autobiography and this was duly published last summer, entitled Negative to Positive.
    He is survived by his sons.
    From the above it appears he had two sons

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
