Great photos, Jennifer. I really like the elderly couple.

Oldtimer & Dave,
Yes, I think I will post it on the restorations board and see what anyone can do with it.

In the meantime, here's another - this time my Robinson relations from North Shields. A little later than my last one (1884 I think).

Adam, yes! Please scan at 300-600 dpi and put it on the Restoration board! I'm sure you will get some lovely restores to its original condition and some wonderful colourings. You will have to change the file name slightly...just adding a letter or number will do.

Cheers,
China

interesting pics everyone 

Unfortunately I don't have the original of this, just a photocopy which I have then photographed, but thought some may be interested in the image. Samuel William Dwen arrived in NZ from Kildare in 1863 and married Eleanor Connors, who he met on the journey, in 1864. He fought in the Maori Land Wars during the next 10 years and picture would be from that era.

Would love to see the original and get a better copy....  He took his family back to Ireland after 10 years then returned to NZ in 1885 with added family and farmed flax in your district near the Waikato River KHp

What wonderful pictures - only just discovered this thread.

This isn't old by comparison to others on here but I love this pic. of my mum in 1909-ish.  It's my current avatar, but a bit bigger.

These are not my oldest, but a couple I like.
My Mum, 1917, the next is her Dad and Aunty, about 1891.
