Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Can anyone help
« on: Monday 18 November 13 11:23 GMT (UK)  »
A friend of mine has recently unearthed a photo from the late 1940's of her parents with her 2 brothers. Both her parents are dead and she thought  the photo would make a framed Christmas gift for one of her daughters who has begun family tree work.

 As she has no computer or printer she asked me if it would be possible to enlarge the photo and print it out for her.

I've found that it will print out reasonably well at A4 size but has some scratches and white spots which spoil the effect.

Ayt help would be gratefully appreciated

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Can anything be done with this?
« on: Monday 03 June 13 22:39 BST (UK)  »
My sister in law has just let me have a copy of this old photo of her mother ( my mother-in-law) sitting on the left side with her mother in the centre and an unknown lady on the right. It would have been taken about 1928

It is a scanned photo of a photocopy as far as she knows so I don't know if it is good enough to restore very well, but any improvement would be welcome.

« on: Friday 07 December 12 20:56 GMT (UK)  »
I have recently been lent some old family photos to scan and this particular one is of my Grand Aunt Winifred which must have been taken about 1920.

Would someone see if they can brighten her up a bit please?

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / It may be an East Coast seaside....
« on: Thursday 01 November 12 20:48 GMT (UK)  »
I wonder if anyone recognises this location, I have a couple of other photos which appear to have been taken on the same holiday and it's definitely a seaside location.

As the family were living in Nottinghamshire at the time and had no car or any transport of their own they would have used either the train or coach travel which is why I've a feeling it would have been the East Coast.

It would have been taken in the early 1930's and the people in the photo are my father and his sister, bot of whom died in the 1990's.

Lincolnshire Lookup Requests / 1891 census look up please
« on: Wednesday 10 October 12 22:30 BST (UK)  »
Could someone have a look at the 1891 census for Owston Ferry  for a James Qualter  and his wife  who's maiden name was Sarah Elizabeth Nelson for me please?

Are there any children in the house?

I completely lose Sarah Elizabeth after this census , can't find a death for her or a re-marriage , yet I've got James on the 1911 with living with a son, Thomas. He's listed as married but there is no sign of Sarah Elizabeth?

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Danny Daniels -comedian and pianist.
« on: Tuesday 09 October 12 21:31 BST (UK)  »
Has anyone any knowledge of a Danny Daniels who used to play the Kings Theatre, Albert Road, Portsmouth ? He was billed as a comedian and pianist.

 From what I've been told he definitely lived near the theatre, possibly in Chelsea Road during the 1930's, and he had a daughter who may also have been called  Danny and who died in the 1880's.

Leicestershire Lookup Requests / 1851 census look up please
« on: Wednesday 29 August 12 16:25 BST (UK)  »
Could someone do me a look-up on the 1851 census (household schedule4)  for Henry Jeffs and Jane Shelley please.

It's the children's names and birthplaces that I'm interested on, especially John Jeffs born about 1844.

Thanks,

Pat

Cornwall / Truro newspapers
« on: Thursday 02 August 12 20:19 BST (UK)  »
I'm wanting to put a letter into a Truro newspaper asking for some information on a branch of my family who I think may be living there.

 I've tried one called The Packet but had no reply from the editor to the email I sent.

Can anyone recommend a local paper which they think might help with this?
