Census and Resource Discussion / Re: 1921 Census - Missing Households in Oldham

Have you found Edith's (soon to be) new husband in the 1921 census?
Worth a look maybe, in case they were together early somewhere.

Sorry not to have responded to replies sooner, but have been laid low with the "mega cough" that has been doing the rounds.
Thanks to everyone who has replied here (or via PM). I will look closer at PS and Gymp, look at the demos, and see how/if my skills are up to the task.
Many thanks again.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Colourisation of B&W Photos
« on: Friday 16 February 24 17:44 GMT (UK) »
Hi All,
I would like to try my hand at colourising my old family photos, which are in black and white.
I have had an initial dabble using a couple of programs I discovered, with mixed results - mainly acceptable, but some less so. These include (as examples) a wedding shot where the bouquet is of red carnations, but which come out black, or a group shot where shadowing on a young lads legs comes out a strange bluish hue.
I was wondering which software the RC experts use, and whether outcomes like the above examples are regular and insurmountable?
Thanks in advance. Any pointers gratefully received.
Regards
ReadyDale

as far as I know it's free on FindMyPast; applying to TNA or Ancestry you will need to pay a fee.

« on: Tuesday 16 January 24 20:53 GMT (UK) »I would imagine a lot of people would expect a space before a surname to be treated as non-significant.
I worked in IT for more than 45 years.
I never worked on a system that treated leading spaces as non-significant!
Agreed
