Gosh you are clever Barbara, I didn't get any of it ;D...

It took perfect concentration, enlarging of the image, a little tweaking here and there and copious amounts of wine to get this clever.....     ;D ;D

Dobby

Do you think you could rescan the original, please?  This one's only 96 dpi and we may be able to see more if it was scanned at a higher resolution.  :)

Hi Gaget

The image is off a film reader reproduced image and photo'd from that. The copies off the Machine reader are impossible to read either to faint or came out a thick black line and out of 50 photo shots! I only got this one that was anything like legable. A for a rescan -............I could pray.

Well thanks for your input! All

Also Many thanks Gadget! for your realist view.

Hi Dobby

Comparing the two forms of Penington, I'd say that they were the same and I can now see a Mary reasonably well if I play with the curves.

I'm also nearly convinced on a James  - I can see an a and an m after a first letter which might be a J or a T*

Think that's as far as my software will take me.

I spect Tephra and Hepburn will agree with me  ;D


Gadget

* added - I now think that the J or T is actually the of and  - so we have

Mary  ...g   of .am... Penington .....

Hi Dobby,
    being sensible now.......
                                           first line looks like * daughter of John.
                                           Second line looks like Peggy ? daughter of James...But,I can't see Mary.

Mary's on the last snip. Hepburn. You have to really play with curves and histogram to see it though.
