Unsure if this is in the right place or not nor if the question has been asked before - I did a look around but not that much, sorry if this has been asked before though.

I have looked around at all the photo restores, re-colours etc and it hits me that in years to come when someone (say our great grandkids) look at these restores would they assume the picture is an accurate reproduction of their ancestors?

Some of the photos have the backgrounds replaced with 'fake' backdrops, which in some way removes important historical references to places and people, and when the 'original' picture disappears or deteriorates beyond recognition the restore is the only copy left.

Any comments, experiences welcome or link that already discusses this subject

This is my first ever restore.

Stuck again I'm afraid darn my Cartwright Ancestry

I was looking for my grandfather Austin Cartwright I think we have as much as we can about him now, I've done lots of research and although I am unable to find anything else at the moment I'm hoping people might help me find his brother Edward.

Edward Cartwright born May 28 1886, Barnsley - Mother Mary Cartwright nee Jacques, Father William Cartwright

I have Edwards birth and 1891 and 1901 census.  I cannot find him on the 1911 census nor any military record, marriage record, death record or any journey's in or out of the country.  I do know he was still alive in 1952 in England as he went to my grandfathers funeral in Rotherham, but then vanished from Rotherham shortly after.

I've found my grandfathers other brother James and his sister Elizabeth and their respective marriages and deaths but totally stuck with Edward.

Any help with Edward much appreciated.

Not a problem just let me know

Some of the Rotherham area may fall under Sheffield Archives, do you know where the death took place?

I live close to both these places and will be able to check with Sheffield Archives just in case.
