Oh that's a first  :-\ SP are normally exceptionally good at this. As you can imagine, it's a common problem. They do send out a standard acknowledgment but that's normally quickly followed up by the enhanced image. I would e-mail again if you don't receive it.

Thanks Monica If I don't hear any more word I will email again....I know quite a few people who have done this and got a much better image sent ......just my luck I'm afraid....I'll think positive though ...cheers

The key thing to remember with SP is that you are paying to see an image you can view/read  ::) If for any reason, they are unable to enhance the image, at the very least they normally refund credits.

I think you might be on a hunt for army births  ::) Some entries showing on IGI for children to a Edward Jones and Margaret Sutherland:

1. EDWARD JONESBirth: 02 AUG 1860 Leith, Midlothian
2. CHARLES JOHN JONES Birth: 10 JUL 1867 , Waterford, Ireland
3. EMILY JANE JONES Birth: 26 JUL 1869 , Cork, Ireland

With a gap there for Robert's birth in England (?).

Monica

If you pm me an email, I can send you further details on the death.

I wonder if this death entry is connected to Margaret, mother:

1924   Margaret Jones/SUTHERLAND, age 83 in LEITH NORTH, EDINBURGH CITY, MIDLOTHIAN.  GROS Ref:685/10 0146

Would make her a young bride in 1860 but hopefully you can verify with the marriage/death certs for confirmation of parents etc.
