There are two Bathsheba Potters - one is the daughter of Joel and Mary Ann Potter who were neighbours of Solomon and Phoebe in Winfarthing (she was born 1828). The Bathsheba who married James Algate was born in 1824 and is, I believe, one of Solomon's little sisters - although I've yet to prove this!

Currently exploring the possibility that Solomon's parents were Nathan Potter from Winfarthing and Ann Harbour (or Harbur) from Gissing. Like you, I am unable to find a Tivetshall baptism, but wonder if it might have been a non conformist baptism? Just sharing these thoughts to confuse matters further ...  ;D Let me know if you make any solid progress :)
Best wishes and good luck!

I love both of yours Carol - thank you for taking the time to work on them. You have worked miracles on the damaged faces!

Color one
Thanks so much for this loord74. I was hoping there might be a restore with colour (but it seemed cheeky to ask!) Your use of gentle tones really brings the photo to life!

Just seen these wonderful new restorations ...
It is an unusual background isn't it Pat (Trishanne) - I can't help feeling it must have made restoration work even more challenging!
Thanks stsearcher - it is a great photo of the lads - I have very few of my grandfather so it's especially precious!
Many thanks to you both for your careful, patient cleaning - very much appreciated!

This is a holiday snap of a group of brothers in (I believe) 1920s. It includes my late grandfather. Is there anything that can be done to restore a photo that has been so badly treated? Thank you!

Solomon's mother is ANN - she's living in Winfarthing with Solomon, Phoebe and family as his widowed mother on the 1871 census  :)

Maybe you can look when a free ancestry weekend comes around again. Unfortunately, last one was 3 weeks ago.

Good plan Sandra - I'll keep a look out! Many thanks for your help. :)
