Thanks very much Trishanne, loord74 & Sharon Overschmidt they look awesome! It's great to have the option of either the individual musician or the quartet, and the colours a nice touch too. Would any of you mind if I used one of your restorations in a family photo book which I plan to update in the next 2 years or so?

Thanks,
Richard

Thanks very much to everyone for their input, especially to McGroger for the post bump & photo restoration! I was quite surprised that it was a unanimous decision but am pleased that I won't be left wondering whether it was my 3x great grandparents. A relative has about 9kg worth of photos to go through & scan so I may be back at some stage (sorry).

Cheers, Richard

Thanks very much Spades,

the inquest provided exactly what I was after and it has ended a 2 year mystery for me and a much longer one for many other family members.

your help is greatly appreciated (yet again).

Cheers

Hi Lucy2,

You were correct the first time, I am after the inquest for Alexander Sinclair who died in Portobello, Dunedin in late April 1874. The coroner was based in Port Chalmers, Dunedin as listed in my previous post.


The other Alexander Sinclair that you are referring to died 5th September 1874 in Wellington as below.
From: Coroner, Wellington Date: 22 September 1874 Subject: Inquest proceedings on Alexander Sinclair (R24321874) https://www.archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=24321874

Cheers

Thanks very much to everyone who has posted on this topic, you have done a good job in convincing me that this photo is in fact my 3x great grandmother Jean Sinclair (nee Mair). I appreciate your efforts!
