Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Sgt John Wilkinson
« on: Saturday 04 June 16 22:17 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I wonder if anyone can add a bit of colour to the attached photo.
He was killed on the 1st day of the Somme battle and his grand daughter would love to take a copy to the church service on 30/6 for the brave local men who died on that day.
Many thanks
Frank

Hi All
Another photo from the shot up wallet of my great uncle.
This is his sister and neice Lily.
If you can remove the creases that would be wonderful.
Many thanks

Another wallet picture for tidy up.
I never cease to be amazed at the fantastic work that is done by people on this site.
My faith in human nature is always restored when I look at the pictures you rescue.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Charles and Sarah Hawcroft with Mary

Hi
Another photo from my Great Uncles wallet, who was killed in WW1.
I am wondering if it could be cleaned up a little as I would like to have a framed copy up at home.
Can anyone tell me if there is any known significance of the floral arrangement they are all wearing - was it a good luck message or a recent death tribute? Any suggestions welcome.
Many thanks
Frank

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Will of my Great Grandfather John Higham
« on: Sunday 15 February 15 22:36 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
I attach the copy of the will - I cannot read the 2nd paragraph where he says "Excepting the ?????? which were not sold at the sale."
The background is that he was a Master Builder with his own firm - could it be scaffolding?
He also had a shop that his daughter Edith ran - could it be shop fittings?
His marriage cert was signed with a cross and his name was spelt wrong so not sure if the word is a misspelling as well?
Any help appreciated.

Hi
Can anyone tidy this up a bit - it was amongst my Great Uncles photos in his paybook when he was killed in WW1 so is a bit battered.
Many thanks
Frank
