Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / WW1 Machen Roll of Honour
« on: Wednesday 17 April 24 09:19 BST (UK)  »
This is the best picture I can get of this memorial.
Could it be made better. Is it possible to take the right hand edge and flip it to the left.
Is it possible to get rid of the reflections also.
I know this is difficult but some of you guys can work magic.
Thank you for looking.

This is William Albert George Pepworth who served in WW1 in the Royal Engineers.
It looks like this picture was taken through glass?
If it could be made better I would be very grateful. Maybe a slight touch of colour would help.
Thank you.

Family History Beginners Board / Help needed with a London policeman
« on: Tuesday 31 October 23 16:09 GMT (UK)  »
I recently found out I had a London policeman on my family tree.
John Smith was my mother's grandfather who was born in Hingham, Norfolk in 1837, the son of
John and Susan Smith. In 1858 he married Elizabeth Graves at Woodrising, Norfolk and they subsequently had a son called Charles Smith in 1859. There were 2 more children listed as Smiths'.
Joseph in 1861 and Alice Maud in 1869. Elizabeth then married John Nelson in 1876 in Norwich, Norfolk. Elizabeth Nelson then gave birth to William Nelson in 1878.
The next place I found him was in the 1861 census working as a policeman with the number 74 F?.
Family stories tell of him being pulled from his horse in a riot at Hyde Park and dying.
I don't know what to make of such a story but I do know he is not listed on then police site for officers dying on duty. I have been told he died in 1864-9 or 1866 but am not sure.

Where should I look for service papers or a photo of him. Any suggestions very welcome.
I am very sorry for the very common name. I know this doesn't help.

This is Edward Rowles who served in the Australian army in WW1.
Unfortunately the background of this picture is trying to take over.
If he could be made clearer I would be delighted.

This is Benjamin Baker who lived Essex. He was born in 1858 and died in 1928.
He was famous for growing very large pumpkins.
If this old photo could be improved I would be delighted.
Thank you for looking
