==Personal life==
Barcroft was born in Dublin, Ireland on 12 November 1838. Boake migrated after seeking advice from his cousin, a Rev. at Holy Trinity Church, Balaclava, Victoria. He moved to Melbourne, Victoria in the 1850s, and then moved on to live in Sydney in 1858. He arrived with some experience and knowledge of photography and worked at Freeman's studio in Sydney for many years. While in Sydney he married Florence Eva Clark in 1865.〔 He settled in Sydney working in his own photographic studio at 330 George St, Sydney up until 1866, when he then declared bankruptcy and moved to Daylesford, Vic. He spent the rest of his life there until his death at the age of 83, February 1921.
Although struggling with personal life tragedies and economic worries he was one of the most successful and popular professional photographers of the latter half of the 19th century. He did however spend the last 30 years of his life in obscurity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.daao.org.au/bio/barcroft-capel-boake/ )〕
