Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Miracle workers, dating, restore & possibly colour?
« on: Tuesday 22 April 08 20:39 BST (UK)  »
Hi all clever technical and knowledgable people :D

This is a photo of my Great Grandfather William Satchwell, I have no idea when it was taken  but it looks like it was taken outside. He was an 'Ag Lab' I know that much from the census - but he doesn't look a barrel of laughs does he? :)

He was born in 1857, but apart from this photo and possibly one other I know very little about him.

Any insight much appreciated.

World War One / Military Medal
« on: Thursday 03 April 08 23:06 BST (UK)  »
Hi

A relative J E Baskott, reg no. 43393 was awarded the Military Medal in 1917, he was a NCO, I have his medal card, but it only tells me he was awarded this medal - I cannot find why? Can you point me in the direction of a good source?

« on: Thursday 03 April 08 22:51 BST (UK)  »
Hello

Please forgive my asking but I had on a marriage certificate the occupation of 'Hawker' appear - I am not sure what this occupation is - the marr cert is 1838.

Can anybody help me?

Hi

Forgive me if this is a very silly question, but did soldiers who died in the two world wars get death certificates?

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Another one for dating - pretty please
« on: Monday 24 March 08 22:04 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

Fantastic job on the last photo, now for this one - who I only know is someone on my Dad's side of the family.

But isn't it a beautiful dress?

I find it hard to judge the age even, she could be anything from 16 to 46.

Can you help again?

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Please date this lady
« on: Monday 24 March 08 19:31 GMT (UK)  »
Hello

I'm having trouble posting this photo so fingers crossed....

Anyone have any idea for a date? She looks very young in the photo, but I don't know any decendents of mine who visited/worked in London - where the photo was taken.

It's a mystery ???

One Name Studies: A to G / Baskott - Warwickshire
« on: Monday 24 March 08 17:41 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I am trying to compile information on this family. The name and spelling has changed over the years with the earliest spelling being 'Bascot' (around 1780). There is a Bascote Heath in Warwickshire not far from Marton which is the 'hub' from which all Baskotts today seem to be descended.  I would love to be able to link the name to the place.

Does anyone else have any Baskotts in their tree?
