This may be an old story repeated every so often but the first time I've seen it.  What a time capsule.

Back in 2010 I asked for assistance of the photograph restorers to get a better image of my Grandfather James Joseph Carson's Military photo in the local paper.  The restorers did a great job.

https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=450976.0

Does anyone know where these photographs would have been stored at the time and where they would eventually have been archived?  Were they held by the local newspapers, by the Regiment or in a central location?  These photos don't appear to have been kept with the soldiers service record.  Maybe its as simple as approaching or visiting the Lancashire Records Office.

Any thoughts much appreciated.

I hope I can upload the images of the front and back of the photo.

The man is my husbands maternal Uncle, *** Heuer.  My mother in law is unable to remember and all we know is that *** went to Japan and supposedly married there. We don’t have a birth date for *** but both of his siblings were born in Hamburg, Germany. Dieter in 1934 (deceased) and M-i-L 1936 to Erwin Heuer 20 October 1906-31 August 1983 and Gertrude Ewert (Gertrude died young and we don’t have a date for either birth or death).

The photo is in M-I-L possession and was received in this condition. Maybe all the message says is to apologise that it has been cut down?

We’d be very grateful for thoughts.

Edit: original back of photo deleted to try and give me space to upload a more detailed image, which I couldn't do.  Original image posted in the thread again.

Can't see that anyone else has posted.

Alexander and Anne are my husband's 4G Grandparents.

Alexander and Anne Duncan married at Keith on 25 August 1795.  Anne was off this Parish and Alexander from 'Cairney'. No occupation for Alexander and the witnesses do not appear to be related.

Alexander and Anne have, to my knowledge from ScotlandsPeople, 3 children:
Jean 24 July 1796 Ruthven Bapt Cairnie
Anne 12 May 1798 Ruthven Bapt Cairnie
James 11 Apr 1800 Ruthven (3GGF) who died 16 Nov 1857 in Keith, Bannfshire
Anne and James were baptised on the same day (no date on record but sometime in May 1801)
No father's occupation listed on any record

The only witness which may be related is for James, who had a James Duncan in Craigton listed.

I find son James in the 1841c Farming at Aulthash Nr Bellie, Moray. Also on that page at Aulthas is an Anne Ingram aged 68 of Independent Means.  It's blank where it should give an indication of whether 'Born in County'.

By 1851 James has moved with his family to Keith and is a Vintner and Carter aged 50.

I can’t find burial records for either Alexander or Anne Ingram and I wondered if anyone could point me in a different direction than ScotlandsPeople.  BTW, the Alexander Ingram d. 1829 is a child of North Keith, so not our Alexander.

I've tried looking for Wills as if that is Anne in the 1841c, to whom did she leave her money/assets?

Sorry if the 2nd link is quite long but I have no idea how to shorten it.

Once again, all help appreciated.
