Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Restoration Challenge
« on: Thursday 02 February 12 09:59 GMT (UK)  »
This is a photo of my great grandmother Elizabeth Brady (nee Lawler) and her family from Dublin, taken about 1920's I guess.
You guys will know better than me, can anything be done to this photo to enhance it or is it too far gone.

Have just found my Great grandmother was Elizabeth Sarah Dale born in Dalton-in Furness (Ulverston Union) in 1868 to GEORGE DALE and SOPHIA HAMLETT.
Anybody have any info on George and Sophia? It would be greatly appreciated as I can find nothing on them anywhere

Travelling People / JOHN COOPER - Conjuror
« on: Saturday 09 May 09 05:48 BST (UK)  »
Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if anybody had any info on a JOHN ROBERT COOPER. He was involved with the travelling circus and regularly appeared at Belle Vue, Manchester 1930-40's-ish.
We dont know where or when he was born, but we do have a few snippets of information which hopefully someone might recognise:-
Around 1918 he was in Norfolk where he ran off with a married woman called MARY LE GRYS (nee MICKLEBURGH). They had three children PERCY, GABY DESLEY and ROY and after travelling around the country with Circus's and Music Hall they all settled in a caravan in Grey Mare Lane, Manchester and later a house in Dainton Street also in Manchester.
He died in 1960 and his profession was listed as Professional Conjuror on his death certificate.
Anybody recognise him ?

Cavan / BRADY - CAFFREY - DUBLIN
« on: Sunday 03 May 09 10:57 BST (UK)  »
My Grandparents were JOHN JOSEPH BRADY (b 1878 in Dublin) and CATHERINE CAFFREY (b ??). They came over to England around the turn of the 1900's and settled in Ormskirk and later Liverpool.
I know his parents were EDWARD BRADY and ELIZABETH LAWLER and siblings JAMES, FRANK, POLLY, PATRICK and EDWARD.
Frank was a professional footballer and Edward had 3 footballing sons including LIAM BRADY, but that's were I meet my brickwall with regard to the Irish side of the family.
Anybody have any information, especially on the Caffrey side?
