Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Help with Arthur Pritchard
« on: Friday 10 March 23 09:16 GMT (UK)  »
Hello, I would like to have better images for my Granduncle Arthur. He was from North Wales, but emigrated to Australia in 1927. He fought in the Australian Army in WWII, serving first in Palestine, before ending up in Papua New Guinea. I have his 5 WWII medals, and they are to be displayed in a frame, alongside a picture of him in uniform. The  pictures have come out a bit grainy, please help to improve the definition? Can the height chart be taken off the last one?
Thank you,
Tarnwater

I have come across a distant relative named Leslie Charles Long who was killed on the 7th July 1944. He was part of a SAS group that were captured and killed under the commando order, given by Hitler.

Cheshire Lookup Requests / Understanding the post
« on: Saturday 26 February 22 20:14 GMT (UK)  »
Hello, Yesterday I asked for help in locating an address on the 1939 register. I did not ask for a copy, or anything that I consider might be breaking any rules. All I requested was a name, and year of birth. Then it would help me to look it up. As it was, the answer that I was given, proved useful, and I managed to find what I was looking for. I apologise if I you think I  broke any rules..

The names are the wrong way around for the two men on the left of the picture. John Robert, Fireman, is the young man, born 1918. The man on the far left is Stephen McCallion, Bosun, born about 1885, fron cairncastle, Antrim, N.I.

I have made contact with Bruce from Canada, who has John Robert Scollay in his family tree on Ancestry. John Robert Scollay was born 17 July 1918,at Bisgoes, Island of Westray, Orkney. He married in 1940 at Leith, and died 26 Nov 1993 in West Lothian.

Thank you to everyone who replied to my question.

Stay safe,

Antrim / Stephen McCallion from Cairncastle
« on: Thursday 25 March 21 11:51 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

I am trying to find more about Stephen McCallion abt.1885, Ballysillan, Caircastle, Antrim. I think I found the right person on the 1901 and 1911 Irish Census, living with his parents Robert (1854) and Catherine (1861), living in Ballyruther, Carncastle, Antrim in 1911.

Stephen McCallion was in the Merchant Navy, he survived the sinking of the Bay Fisher 7th Feb 1941, and was taken to Dundee.

I can find no other records for Stephen, can you help?

Tarnwater.
