My 1st cousin (1 time removed) William Salzer b1917
« on: Tuesday 13 June 17 22:54 BST (UK) »
I never knew William, but I am now in contact with his wife Val. She is now 80, and sent the attached photos from her iPad - who said technology is for the young?!

William died in 1999, but hopefully I will get to meet Val and his children soon.

Williams grandfather (my great grandfather) came from Germany after 1881, and his new family lived in East London and Essex.

I wonder if you can enhance the photos a little, to remove the glare, and make 4 photos?  Val told me that the set of three are William:

Training in Air Force- circa 1936
Just before we met , about 1959 ish
Later in life , maybe in his 60s to 70s

The single photo is their wedding day 11 June 1962 (55 years ago to the day she sent it to me).
