Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / John Budd 1940-2009
« on: Saturday 09 January 21 13:51 GMT (UK)  »
Good afternoon all.

I hope that everyone is keeping safe and well.
My wife recently found this photo of her father and I wonder if anyone could tidy it up and even colourise it.  She doesn't know that I'm doing this so it will, hopefully be a nice surprise for her (or I'll be on the naughty-step (again).

As an aside, John is the Great Grandson of William G Loft (1803-1887) who won the Grand National on Cure All, in 1845.

Thank you, in advance.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Help with father's occupation please - Completed

Thank you both.  Looking at the whole image again, the occupation and location have been filled in the wrong boxes.  I think I need to take a break!

I've given myself a good talking to  ::)

World War One / Re: Does anyone recognise this war memorial?

Hi Lizzie.
Are you aware of this searchable website?
https://www.iwm.org.uk/memorials

Using the filters should get you close to where you need to be (if not in the bullseye!)

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help with father's occupation please
« on: Friday 11 January 19 16:57 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all.
I'm having difficulty working out the occupation for William Chapman Bradley's father, John.  The document is William C's baptism record (dated 11/06/1820) and the occupation looks like 'Lunt'.  I've not heard of that, and Google is obviously sulking as it's not being too helpful!

Is there anyone who could give me a nudge in the right direction please?
Thanks, in advance.

The Common Room / Re: What did you do on Armistice Centenary Day?

Hi River Tyne Lass.

No, I march with former colleagues from the RAF Squadron I served with. Even more poignent this year with it also being the 100th anniversary of the RAF.

It is always a very humbling experience.  Did you manage to get tickets to march past?

I was privileged to be able to march past the Cenotaph in London. 

A proud, yet bittersweet moment, remembering all who gave their life but, in particular, remembering nine of my own friends who were killed in more recent times.

FH Documents and Artefacts / Re: Can you help identify this manor house?

Hi Carol.

Don't know whether it would work, but have you thought about a reverse image search?

There's a few out there, but try this one:https://www.tineye.com/

Good luck.
