Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Dates for two Brown Famiy photos please Kent
« on: Wednesday 19 January 22 10:47 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you both very much for your replies.

Looking at the funkidslive website, I'm surprised that the children are also wearing large lacy collars.  I had thought the children in my photo were in a play, but perhaps this was fashionable at that time.  Very strange!

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Dates for two Brown Famiy photos please Kent
« on: Tuesday 18 January 22 14:46 GMT (UK)  »
I would be grateful if someone could date these two photos for me please.
I've no idea who the people are, they are members of the Brown family who lived in Canterbury, Kent.
Thank you.

World War Two / Re: Arthur Brown, York & Lancaster Regiment

Thanks Millipede - I found the details of his burial on the War Graves Commission site.  The details look correct, it says son of Mrs E E Brown of Canterbury and that he's buried in Canterbury cemetery. Date of death 18 May 1941.
I would really like to find out what happened.

World War Two / Arthur Brown, York & Lancaster Regiment
« on: Monday 30 August 21 11:38 BST (UK)  »
I'm trying, without any success, to find out about my Dad's older brother Arthur William Brown, who died on 18 May 1941 aged 28.
I know that he was living in Rotherham in 1939, born in Canterbury, Kent in 1913. He was a Corporal in the York & Lancaster Regiment 16th Bn, No. 4757045, he enlisted in 1940. He's buried in Canterbury cemetery.
But I can't find out where he died or what happened and I don't know where to start! I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
Annie

The Common Room / Christening gown
« on: Tuesday 20 July 21 12:10 BST (UK)  »
This is probably a strange subject, but I'm hoping someone can help.
I have an antique christening gown, hand made by my great great grandmother in 1895 when she was expecting her first child. It's beautiful, but I've discovered that an area of lace on the front has been cut out since it was last used (I'm really upset/annoyed). Also a few bits of the stitching need restoration.
So I'm wondering if anyone has used a reputable antique fabric restorer, who did a good job and didn't cost the earth?
Thanks
Annie

Can I ask, Scotmum, where you found the newspaper entries? I would like to see them.
Thanks

That is brilliant, thank you all so much for your help, I really appreciate it.
By the way, I now see that you don't have to subscribe to FindMyPast for a whole year, which I had thought.
Thanks again
