Hi -

My first post here, but have always been amazed at the work you do!

Would love some restoration, if possible, of this photo of Great Grannie Harriet with my father.

I have attached a file < 500Kb - here is a link to the larger version of the same photo:

Thanks in advance!

Ok.  Sorry, I am not familiar with Derbyshire research and did not realize.  Since it is for a friend, I am not planning on ordering the cert.  Thus, I guess I am out of luck.  Thanks.

I suppose I should add that I've seen several options in the Kent directory for 1913 including:

Burroughs, Wellcome & Co, Phoenix Mills, Dartford
Dartford Chemical Works Limited, Victoria Rd, Dartford

All the other options from 1913 seem a bit out of the way.

A few thoughts...

Re: Rosie who is visiting Isaac and Mary on the 1891 Census.  Isaac is given as being 40 years of age; Rosie as 36.  Rosie's occupation is given as a machinist in 1891.

I assume you also believe Rosie is Isaac's sister - she may be the one enumerated on the 1861 census as Rachael (who is given as b. 1857).  Isaac's age is quite accurate at 10 in 1861 if he was given as 3 mo. in 1851.  It's possible that Rachael's is a bit off. 

Have you seen the 1881 Census for the Morris Samuels household? RG11/872/91 p 14 in Gravesend, 19 John St.  It contains Morris (62), Sarah (28), Rachael (22), Isabel (20), and Joseph (16).  This puts her date of birth ~1859.  This Rachael's occupation is also given as a machinist. 

Also, forgive me for perhaps stating the obvious, but you may not have too much luck in the CityArk parish records, since I would assume the family is Jewish (or at least up until a certain point in time).  Maybe you will find some useful resources on JewishGen's UK site:

To that end, a Hebrew name could have easily lead to variations including Rachael and Rosie - I see very similar variations in given names in my tree from census to census.

Wondering if anyone frequents the St Albans library and would be willing to look up an article on microfilm in the Herts Advertiser St Albans Times.

The article pertains to the death of Rosina Mary Whetham Cole, wife of John Henry Cole, of 8, Hedley-road.  The death occurred on 29 Dec 1906.  I have a transcribed fragment of the article but it is undated, untitled, and incomplete.  Likely published the same week as her death, however.

Please let me know if you would be willing to do this and I can provide additional identifying information about the content of the article.

Thanks in advance.
