Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Dating information WALKER/DOWNES family Batley, England
« on: Friday 23 November 18 10:36 GMT (UK)  »
I have 'inherited' some family photographs many of which have no details as to who they are. I'm slowly working my way through them and have got stuck with these three photos.
I think they are Elizabeth Down(e)s and her daughter Mary Ann. The first photo I think is of Mary when she was younger(?) the second with her children. Mary Ann lived 1870 to 1951; I have no dates for Elizabeth yet.
If the dates match for Mary the children are possibly George WALKE 1890 - 1918 and Elizabeth Annie WALKER 1893 - 1950.
Can anyone help with dating these photos please?
Many thanks

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Dating and storage advice please of my Austin family Photograph
« on: Saturday 21 April 18 18:20 BST (UK)  »
This picture was among a box of pictures I 'inherited'. It appears to be on black glass substrate and the image is susceptible to scratching (I currently store it in a plastic box surrounded by cotton wool).
Firstly, can someone give me an idea of what date this is likely to have been taken, and
Secondly what is the best way to store/preserve the photograph.
Thank you

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Help with dating a lowe photo please
« on: Thursday 15 February 18 15:42 GMT (UK)  »
I think this may be either Hannah Lowe 1842 to 1868 or her sister Sarah Lowe 1839 to 1915. I have included a scan of the back of the photo. From her clothing are there any ideas as to date?
Thanks

« on: Monday 12 February 18 16:22 GMT (UK)  »
I'm trying to find the name of the steamship on this ticket that my Grandfather used to come back to the UK in 1912. I can find no record on the immigration records/passenger lists. Any ideas anyone?

Canada / Frederick Anthony
« on: Wednesday 02 August 17 21:54 BST (UK)  »
My Great Grandfather Frederick Anthony (B. 1866 in Ilkeston, Derbyshire) has proved to be something of an enigma. He left my G. Grandmother just before she gave birth to her second child and ended up living in Bedford, England; I have him listed in the 1901 and 1911 census living there. Along the way he becomes a 'widower', although G Grandmother is still alive, and fathers a child with Emily Bonfield with whom he was lodging in 1901.
After 1911, I next find him emigrating to Canada. He sailed on March 25th 1922 (from Kings Lynn I believe) and landed at Toronto leaving his 'wife', Emily Anthony, at the Coach & Horses Hotel, Derringham, Kings Lynn. His stated destination was Mrs McDonald Surtees, 11 Rear Alexandra Street, Toronto, Ontario. (See attached Arrivals form)
I can find no further trace of him.
I am looking for suggestions as to where I can look next.
Many thanks in advance

Can anyone point me in the right direction to look for a birth amongst catholic records from Leeds please?
John FOWLER, the one I'm after, was born around 1829 of parents Dennis and Mary FOWLER, both of whom came from Ireland. They lived in and around Brick Street in Leeds.
Thank you
