Canada / Scott AITKEN (AITKIN) - Margaret JAMIESON
« on: Monday 12 December 11 22:40 GMT (UK)  »
Having trouble finding a marriage record for Scott Aitken (Aitkin) to Margaret Jamieson, assumed married in Ontario.  He, born in Papil, Shetland (1824) and after some 20 years on the high seas and as a captain on a vessel in the Great Lakes, settled in the Windermere area of Ontario, close to his brother. 
I have searched LDS micro-films, Ancestry and taken a stab at Great Lakes nautical records to no avail.
Appears in Canadian Census 1871 (Aitkin), 1881 (Aitkin), with two "children", which I believe were British Home Children in 1891 (Atken) and 1901 (Aitkin) prior to his death in 1907.  All Census' are with spouse.
Death record and tombstone have spelling AITKEN.
Anyone out there have any other ideas?

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Identify House?
« on: Friday 17 June 11 02:41 BST (UK)  »
   I'm taking a real long shot here to see if anyone can identify the attached house that is supposedly the house of a direct ancestor from Yorkshire.
   I have been trying to track down information on John PRUDHAM (1807-1889)who came to Canada from England in 1832.  I have made earlier inquiries as to his parentage on the Yorkshire East board, but now believe that it may have been Yorkshire North that he was from.  Hence my post here on this board now.
   It appears the spelling in England may have been PRUDOM, as we have identified an older sister Tamar and a half brother Mark of that spelling.
   Back to my original quiry  -  does anyone know of this house.  It was taken in 1959 or 1960 by an uncle who had travelled to England, but is now deceased.
   Of course I won't turn down any information on his parentage if anyone knows.
   Thanks for any assistance.   :) :)

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / And now the son
« on: Wednesday 29 December 10 23:17 GMT (UK)  »
After posting "Rev Daniel Pickett" earlier today and getting such excellent results, here is Daniel's son and my maternal GG Grandfather, Thomas Ebenezer Pickett.
This picture will likely be a greater challenge, because as well as being a little fuzzy, it is also dark.
Any takers?
Thanks.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Rev. Daniel Pickett

Can anyone bring the Reverend Daniel Pickett (1771 - 1854) back to life? 
He is a maternal GGG Grandfather to me and a circuit preacher in Upper Canada (now Ontario) in the early 1800's.
The picture is a little fuzzy, but perhaps can be sharpened up.
Thanks

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Clean-up please
« on: Friday 10 September 10 20:30 BST (UK)  »
I have been pleased with the few old pictures that have been worked on in the past.  This one needs a little clean-up.
Here is another one.  This is of a Great Aunt and Great Uncle, circ 1905.
She died a week after dad was born.  Dad always said he was to have been named after her if he were a girl.
Thanks.
