Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Dating Photos

Hi. Like others here I would like to see if these 3 photos could be dated as near as possible please. I will include the front and back of the images, note that one image has a blank back so no pic of that included. (I can only put up 4 images) The back of pic three has "Victoria cabinet Studios, John Hart" as the photographer. Maybe I can put that up as a seperate post? Thanks in advance.

Northumberland / Re: 1851 census - where is Tynemouth workhouse?

I have found info for the 1851 Census with inmates of the Workhouse listed. One of my relatives, Jane Barrass, is listed as a "Widow of James Barrass, Coalminer" It is from MyHeritage Census Records, not sure if you can see the page if you are not a member? There are about 270 names on there, if you cant access the url I am very willing to look up any names that you want to find on there.
Hope this is ok?

I'm looking for records of inmates/staff at the workhouse for around the years 1850 - 1870, is there a link to the workhouse records? My family search name is Barrass and they were in the workhouse around that time, wondering why? Thanks

I do understand about the cost of things and really appreciate when peoples skills, time and expertise are involved, and knowing the time that is spent on research I think you are very reasonable.

Now thats an avenue I have not thought about, thanks for the thought might give it a try? I wonder if there is enough people that need this kind of service for RC to have a seperate section for such a thing? I have had a reply from the Surrey Historical Society confiming the fact that Koopman Charles Okker did die in the County Lunatic asylum (Springfield Hospital) and I can acquire 2 pages of scans re his condition before admittance and his subsequent death, cost is 26 pounds or $47. A bit expensive I think.

Wish I could understand Dutch, most of my family, on my grandmothers side, are from Amsterdam and Groningen areas. Very difficult translating some documents. I do have a translator program but a lot of the documents/scans I find are jpegs, or images and can't be translated automatically so I have to try to decipher the hand writing and go from there. Also the naming of people seems to change with each generation? A bit frustrating sometimes, but thats what this family history is all about eh?
