My thanks to both Handypandy and Japeflakes for their enhanced photos.  And barryd yes Chavasse is a name unique to the family - they are second cousins once removed. Roger

Carol,  I haven't missed any of them.  They have all been downloaded to my PC and I appreciate the efforts of all concerned.

I have also had a lot of help on other boards, particularly with my South African ancestors and I regret that I haven't used Roots Chat sooner.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Jane TUTTON nee RICHARDSON

Thanks to all who sent me a restored photo.  I have added them all to my album and will use them on my tree in rotation.

Mike's link to the Josias Groom Shrewsbury photographer is interesting - he was certainly a busy chap in his relatively short life!  Also Carol surmised that the the photo of Jane was taken in the 1860s by the Birkenhead phtographer.  This would seem right as in 1861 the family lived in Everton, Liverpool and their third son William (he went on to become a Methodist minister) was baptised at Liverpool St Mary Magdalene in 1860.  By 1871 the family had moved to Shrewsbury at some point in the preceding 10 years.  Despite his unruffled demeanour it appears that Alfred was on the move to avoid his creditors!

In the course of my photo learning curve I have run up against one odd problem and wonder if someone could help.  If I set my scanner to the "best" setting (the default is about 80%) it produces an image that is well in excess of 500kbs.  When I attempt to reduce the pixel size using IrfanView it reduces a lot and then I can't get it to increase again to anywhere near the original size.
I can work round this by gradually reducing the scanner setting from best until I get an image at just below 500kbs and then I don't have to bother with IrfanView.

I hope that this makes sense and that I'm not being thick! :-[

Nottinghamshire / Re: Jane TUTTON nee RICHARDSON

Thanks to all for attempting this knotty problem that has baffled me (and my sister) for some years!

I have studied it all with interest and in the main I am pleased to say that you have all confirmed our research.  I also have a death for a Patience Lawton in Stockport in the 3rd quarter of 1851 Vol19 P206 although I cannot find a matching burial for Howe, Lawton or Laughton.

So her birth and father remain a mystery fromthe past to be answered in the future.

I have recently posted a photograph of her on the photo restoration board.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Jane TUTTON nee RICHARDSON

I am attaching photograph of Jane wife of William Tutton (see previous post).  She was born in Nottingham in about 1832 and died in Shrewsbury in about 1907. 

The reverse of the image has a handwritten name of J Lancaster, Birkenhead who is presumably the photographer and is numbered with a small sticker as 7122.  William's is numbered sequentially with the same style of sticker as 7121 but is a different photographer? Roger

Nottinghamshire / Jane TUTTON nee RICHARDSON
« on: Tuesday 05 June 18 11:26 BST (UK)  »
Jane is my great-grandmother.  According to census returns she was born in Nottingham in about 1832 and by 1841 is living in Stockport.  I cannot trace her in the 1851 Census.  She marries Alfred Tutton in the Wycliffe Chapel Stockport on 26 Sep 1853.  She dies in Shrewsbury in about 1907.

Her marriage cert gives her father as John Richardson deceased and his occupation as Cutler or Cutter (his forename was later confirmed by Stockport Register Office as Joseph).  The witnesses are Thomas Cocker and Rachel Shore.

I believe her mother is Sarah Betty Howe who possibly marries Joseph Richardson in Manchester Cathedral in Jul 1818 and secondly James Shore.  Rachel Shore the above witness is her half sister and she later marries Thomas Cocker the other witness.

My problem is that I cannot find (despite diligent efforts) the baptism of Jane Richardson nor information about her father.  Perhaps someone with knowledge of Nottinghamshire can help.

One other possibly salient fact is that Sarah Betty Howe's mother could be Patience Rainford born in Dunham on Trent Notts in about 1769.

Thanks R

Thanks Carol.  Yvone is right they are lovely!

Thanks to you and others I now have a separate file of Roots Chat restores to savour.

What sort of attribution should I make to Roots Chat and yourselves when I share them with other family members?

More to follow but I'll limit them to 2 a week.
