Laois (Queens) / Re: Dunnes of Brittas,Clonaslee,Co Laois,Ireland
« on: Saturday 03 October 20 23:40 BST (UK)  »
I am researching a Dunne family in Western Australia.
Edward Dunne was born C.1812 in Bally Brittas as stated on his enlistment papers for the Kings Own Regiment of 4th Foot in 1830. Later discharged in 1850 for health reasons. He married Mary Molloy in 1849 in Winchester, Hampshire, England. They had two children before departing on the Ramillies 1854 for WA. Edward came as a Pensioner Guard. He died 1873 in Fremantle, WA.

Mary Molloy whom he married had a brother James Henry Molloy who also originated from Ballybrittas and served with the 4th Foot before being discharged in 1850. He also was a Pensioner Guard to Australia in 1852 on the Fairlie but to Hobart VDL. He died 1894 in Fiji.

Would any one be in the know of the Parents of Edward Dunne?

Thank you for all your effort.  I'll show these to my husband and see which one he likes the best. I had thought differently but it does look good with him sitting and not like the ones at the top.

Please my husband has asked if the image of Frank Musgrave be added to the photo of his siblings. I think he wants it all in that Sepia colour. I have included the back of the sepia pic which describes the persons in the photo. Harold Musgrave was my husband's grandfather. Replica medals that Harold received for his war efforts will be framed with the resultant image as a gift for the last surviving child of Harold who will be 94 on 2nd June 2019.
In the black and white photo Francis is the one on the left at the front. An arrow points down to him. I thought a head and shoulder image could be inserted to the right of the sepia photo underneath Murray Musgrave.
My skills with graphic programs are not that great.
Thank You

Does look good in colour, although I think the Union Jack would have been red not green. Thank you.

Thank you for your efforts. They both look better than it was. The low resolution was all I could download. I just thought it was better than no picture. Once again thank you both for what you have done.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Rose John Marshall - WW1 Australia
« on: Monday 26 March 18 11:07 BST (UK)  »
Could someone please clean up this photo for me?

It looks like there may have been some deterioration as it seems to be ghosted over the image.

Image was available for download from the Australian War Memorial website and states that it is without copyright and in the public domain, so I presume it will be OK to post.

John Marshall Rose (1894-1916) would have been a cousin to my grandmother, and I'd like a nice photo to go with his war and family records.

Thank you

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Decipher writing at bottom of photo
« on: Monday 26 March 18 10:51 BST (UK)  »
Could someone please tell me the words that are written in black at bottom of photo?

What I know: my grandfather is in the photo, W.A. Wiseman, he is the young man standing with mug in hand at the back on the right. The photo may be of a WW1 camp in Bunbury Western Australia, after enlistment at Blackboy Hill. He was originally with the 7th Depot company but was taken on by the 16th Infantry Battalion. Originally in the 16th reinforcements but embarked with the 25th as he was under age. In other photos written with white ink, information given is place, date and a comment.

Thank you

I know this is a little off centre, but I too was born and lived in Perth, although it is Perth, Western Australia. It was named after Perth, Scotland because James Stirling the said founder hailed from the area. I have always had a leaning towards my ancestors that came from Perth because of that.
