I have an ancestor, Henry Robinson, logged in 1841 Census aged 27 in Edinburgh.  His birth place is marked E for England, which does not help much.  He married Margaret Finlay.

My search showed the following, and I wonder whether anyone could help me identify the right one.  Perhaps in your tree?
ROBINSON Henry 1813  Durham Durham baptisms   
ROBINSON Henry 1813  London Docklands Ancestors 
ROBINSON Henry 1814  Derbyshire Elmton, Derbyshire Baptisms   
ROBINSON Henry 1815  Suffolk Suffolk Baptism Index (part 1)   
ROBINSON Henry 1815  Lincolnshire Lincolnshire Parish Bastardy Cases   
ROBINSON Henry Beeston 1815  Yorkshire (West Riding) Pontefract District Baptisms   
ROBINSON Henry Charlesworth 1815  Yorkshire (West Riding) Huddersfield Baptisms   
ROBINSON Henry Edward Raberty 1814  Northumberland Northumberland and Durham Baptisms   
ROBINSON William Henry 1813  Yorkshire (West Riding) Halifax St John Baptisms   
ROBINSON William Henry 1815  London Docklands Ancestors

This picture is possibly of my Great Grandfather, John Morrison 1835 -1921, probably taken near Nairn or Inverness.
I would welcome a date to help me confirm.

If anyone can improve the picture in monochrome, I would be delighted.

My late father served in WW2 and one of his medals has a metal Oak Leaf, signifying Mentioned in Dispatches, but I never found out why this was awarded.

As a child, I recall him saying that he set off the biggest explosion in the war prior to the nuclear bomb when he destroyed the captured armaments from El Alamein.  But my sister said that he had told her he had been the first officer into Tobruk (but Tobruk was captured and lost a few times.)

I obtained a copy of his military file, and there is nothing there.  In fact there is very little real information at all!

I searched the London Gazette on-line, but could not find him.  I searched with different spellings and with his service number but found nothing.

I wonder if MIDs were ever awarded to units or just to individuals?  I would welcome any suggestions.

He served in the RAOC and spent 4.5 years in the Middle East/ North Africa, and rose to the rank of Major (and for 4 weeks was Acting Lt Col when his boss was in hospital!).  His number is 140200, Maj I H Morrison

I have just found a copy of this photo of my Grandfather Neil MacLean taken in 1912 when he was 30.  The Clan MacLean were celebrating the renovation of Duart Castle on the Isle of Mull in Scotland.  My grandfather died in 1927, way before my time.  Is there any chance of
- making the background lighter so that we can see Grandfather, and
- adding a little colour.  For guidance the jacket will be black and the kilt will be a Hunting MacLean tartan, green with black and white checks.

In the 1841 Census in Arbroath, my ggggfather's occupation was "Brown Liners HLW"  A daughter and some neighbours were listed as "BLHLW".

Does anyone haver any ideas?
