Yorkshire (North Riding) / Bank Cottage, Catterick
« on: Monday 11 September 23 15:54 BST (UK)  »
My Grandfather was an air mechanic based at Catterick during WW1, he wrote many, many letters to his " Darling Floss " whom he married in December 1918. I have copies of these letters and the address was Bank Cottage, Catterick.
Just wondered if anyone knew where this would be.
Thanks

London and Middlesex / William McDonald St Pancras 1851
« on: Thursday 23 September 21 18:56 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I have a William McDonald aged 6 in St Pancras in 1851.
He seems to be in some sort of school , the page before gives a name but I can t read it, it appears to be near Powis Place.
Also all the boys on the page have what appears to be "visitor" in relationship column, but not quite sure if it says that.
Would be grateful for thoughts where this might be in St Pancras.
Thanks

The Lighter Side / Any ideas what this "Medal " might be?
« on: Sunday 08 August 21 15:49 BST (UK)  »
Found with my late father in laws WW2 medals. I don t think it is actually a medal, I don t have access to it as they are photos from a family member. He says they are not heavy enough to be gold unfortunately! I would have thought it was old though.
Lots of similar images on google but not exactly the same. It most looks like an old French 5 cent, but no date or numbers. Napoleon 111 Empereur.
Ideas welcome as to condition as I don t think it looks well made enough, perhaps a reproduction .
Thanks

Technical Help / Scanning a whole photo album to USB.
« on: Friday 18 December 20 19:09 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
My partner has been given one of the family photo albums and would like to make digitalised copies of the album itself for other family members.
I see Asda do a photo album scanning service (at a price) and wondered if anyone has used this service or similar and if the results were ok.
We do not want to take all the photos out and scan ourselves in case of damage and compromising the "feel" of the album.
Would be grateful for any thoughts,
Cathy :)

Wicklow / Town or village in Wicklow
« on: Wednesday 29 July 20 17:14 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I have just found an army pension record for a James McDonagh born c1800. I would love it to be my ancestor as he is a bit of a mystery but it may not be.
His place of birth is transcribed as Derrelofsary, co. Wicklow.
The record is dated 1837 when James left the army.

Does anyone know where this might be please?
Have tried to attach snippet with towns name but can t at the moment, it certainly looks like Derrelofsary.
My James was born supposedly in Dublin.

Thanks

Warwickshire / Warwick records office
« on: Thursday 08 November 18 17:57 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
I will be visiting Warwick Records Office hopefully next week sometime. I have discovered they hold some photographs of my Grandfather and his business. I would love to have a few copies of these photos and wondered how the best way to get them was. Does the Record Office have facilities for copying photos or is there another way,  perhaps someone has done this before.
Thanks for any advice

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Old negatives converted to photos?
« on: Saturday 13 January 18 14:33 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
I m sure this has probably been asked before, but I have some very old black and white negatives that I would dearly love to have turned into photos. I am not very technical and though there do seem to be ways to do it by scanning the negatives etc, I wondered if anyone has any experience of a company I could send them to, to be made into photos.
Thanks
Cathy
