Ross & Cromarty / Donald McKenzie born Milntown in Contin
« on: Wednesday 15 March 23 23:54 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
I have previously posted on this forum with little success.
I have recently obtained the birth certificate for whom I believe is my Donald McKenzie.
The certificate states that he was born and baptised on the 2nd September 1797.
His father was Kenneth McKenzie (a weaver) and no mother is listed.
It also states that he was born in Milntown of Contin.
Where do I start for looking for more information?
I will include the link for my previous post regarding Donald.

Attached is the birth certificate for Donald in the County of Ross and Cromarty.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards Hilary

Thankyou to all who took the time to fix the photo. We went to the church on Saturday 12th and were able to take photos of us in exactly the same position as the original photo, right down to the drainpipe in the background!
Very grateful.
Hilary
PS. I don't think I can put the "new" photo up as it's of living people.

Hi,
Tomorrow my dad would have celebrated his 100th birthday.
We are celebrating and will go to the church where he married our mother.
Can you work your magic on this wedding photo please. Both my parents have passed away.
Thanking you.

The Common Room / Police Lockup in Victoria, Australia
« on: Thursday 10 November 22 00:00 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
I'm looking for background history for Portable Lockups which were used in Victoria Australia in the early 19th Century.
These were sometimes referred to as "Casterton style lockups. Is it possible that they came from Casterton in Victoria?

From my initial research these were manufactured in England and then sent to Australia in kit form and assembled here. Generally they were in Victoria only.
I will attach some photos, one of which we have in our Historical precinct in our town.
Any information would be gratefully received.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Regards,
Hilary

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / The Old Stables @ The Sunday Creek Inn

Hi,
Can you work your magic and remove the texta arrows and the sticky tape mark from this photo.
Sadly the hotel and stables are no longer there in Broadford, Victoria, Australia.
As it is History Month this month I want to include in a post about lost buildings. It also has a sad story. A young girl was murdered in the stables in the early 1900's.
Thanks for your help,
Hilary

Hi,
Thankyou to all of you for your work.
You are truly amazing.
Next month is History Month and I'm putting together a virtual walk of our town on Facebook looking at all the old buildings.  Some long gone and others still there. This photo can now be included.
With grateful thanks,
Hilary

Hi,
This photo is in pretty poor condition and someone used sticky tape once upon a time.
Is it possible to remove "the scars" and restore the photo?
Thanking you in anticipation.
