Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Duggan Children born 1887 and 1890 for clean and help with identification
« on: Friday 12 February 21 03:19 GMT (UK)  »

Hi, it would appreciated if both children could please have a clean up, they are both looking a bit grubby. 

Aside from needing a good clean up I'm not sure who is who, I am trying to determine which one is the male, and which is the female. 

What we know -  A male child was born in 1887 (Percy) and female (Lily) born in 1890 (brother and sister).  I have learnt not to guess gender of a baby/child photo of that era based on the clothing.  Boys were often photographed in what looked like a dress often a christening gown.

My dilemma is that someone has written Percy on the back of the "Massingham photo" which I would have expected to be Lily, because the child looks more like a girl.

In a nutshell, does anyone think the baby in the "Bloch" photo could be female, even though she looks more like a boy?

The photographer listed as Theodor Bloch operated in Geelong form 1888-1891.  Massingham from 1886-1902.

Age I am guessing for the child in the Massingham photo would be 12 - 18 months, and the "Bloch" photo maybe a bit less.

Sorry if I have used too many words, I'm just trying to explain myself, Apologies if I sound confusing.  ::) ::)

Kind Regards,  Aussielass  :)

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Duggan (maybe born 1852) ??? badly in need of a clean up and estimate of date
« on: Sunday 07 February 21 06:23 GMT (UK)  »
A clean up of this photo would be very much appreciated, but we would also like help in determining the time frame for when it might have been taken.

I am trying to ascertain which "Duggan" this is, if my guess is correct he was born in 1852. The photographer named on the back of the photo is George Clarke Wilmot (1843-1923) who started his photography business at 31 Malop Street, Geelong, Victoria, Australia in 1865-1886.

Thanks and Kind Regards,  Aussielass

A clean up of his army photo would be very much appreciated.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / A clean up and colour for Edmund John in his office gear Victoria Australia
« on: Friday 06 November 20 06:26 GMT (UK)  »
A dash of colour would make a big difference to this photo.  Edmund had dark brown hair and striking blue eyes.  The photo has a couple of minor blemishes, but I think it scanned o.k.

As usual, many thanks in advance for anyone who would like to give it a minor clean or dash of colour.

Kind Regards, Aussielass :)

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Summertime in Victoria, Australia in the 1930's for clean up and colour
« on: Monday 25 May 20 01:54 BST (UK)  »
A clean up of the blemishes and maybe a dash of colour would make this photo shine.

It's obviously a summer day, and although not clear, there are children swimming in the shallows and one lone brave person swimming in the deeper water in their bathing cap.

There are also lots of families watching on from seats on the shore line, a little path and steps leading to the beach surrounded by grassy slopes, and a cute little alcove where people are sitting.

Thanks in anticipation, kind regards,  Aussielass  :)

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Catherine Hunter 1940's needs a clean and spruce up
« on: Saturday 18 May 19 03:44 BST (UK)  »
I'm helping a friend out to clean this photo for his family history project, it was one of those tiny photos, so the quality of the scan is only as good as the original! :(

If Catherine from Northern Ireland could please have a good clean up and iron out the creases it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks and Kind Regards,  Aussielass

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Neil Carey constable on Ballarat Goldfields 1854 with unknown friend for cleanup
« on: Monday 18 February 19 13:05 GMT (UK)  »
Neil Carey arrived in Australia in 1853, originally from Mullingar Co.Westmeath, Ireland.  He headed to the Ballarat Goldfields, and became a mounted police constable, and in later years, the owner of a Hotel at Bungaree.  He is the person seated in the photo, the other person standing is unknown.  A clean-up would be very much appreciated, and even a dash of colour would be nice.  Date of photo is not known.  If anyone is brave enough, removal of the unknown person standing in the photo would highlight Neil more.  ;) 

Thanks and kind regards, Aussielass :)

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Len, Nancy & David White (& lamb) riding to school in the 1920's Bungaree Vic.
« on: Friday 18 January 19 23:23 GMT (UK)  »
A clean up of the White children, riding to school with their lamb on board would be very much appreciated.  If anyone would like to tackle it, a dash of colour might add some extra life to this photo.  This would be a typical sight in the 1920's in country areas, were riding a horse to school was not uncommon.  I'm posting this for my friend who is attending an Australia Day function to commemorate early settlers in the Bungaree region of country Victoria.

Thanks and Kind Regards, Aussielass  :)

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Rippleside paddock & beach,Victoria Aus. late 1950's for clean and colour
« on: Tuesday 18 December 18 06:25 GMT (UK)  »
Hello and "Happy Christmas" to the lovely people who give their time freely on this wonderful site and Happy Christmas to all the posters too!   ;D

This photo of Rippleside paddock is not the best, so a bit of a clean and colour would be very much appreciated!   The water is in front of the recreation shed on the left of the photo, and although it's not clear, there's a pier, a bit to the right of the shed.  It's definitely winter, no one is swimming or playing in the park!  We're not positive but think it was taken in the late 50's. 

Kind Regards,  Aussielass
