A testing task
« on: Wednesday 15 January 14 14:28 GMT (UK) »
If I have attached it correctly, the image is from a 19th century newspaper article I found a couple of years ago, but cannot now trace.  The image I saved from the download has been lost when a PC failed, and the attached version is salvaged from a RootsMagic file.  The bottom right hand corner holds a symbol which I think means that the original has been disconnected.
As this is the only image I have of my gt-grandfather, can any wizard cast his/herspell, please?

Ainsley, it's literally the size of a postage stamp...maybe even half the size. It would have to be big enough to see for a restorer to do anything with it :P

What's his name, location and dates, maybe we can find another image in the web.

Cheers,

Hi Ainslie...Sorry this is the best I can do without making it up...Have you tried googling images using his name? As China says...there is so little to work with  :-\

Thanks for the efforts. I knew the small original would be hard, even for you experts.   I have had some advice about putting a better version of the image on here, so watch out, probably tomorrow.
He was George Heaton Daglish, 1839-1913 and lived in Liverpool.  The pic probably dated around 1880-90 and was in a local paper in a piece about a political society.  It was not the Liverpool Mercury.  His surname might have been misspelled -  a common occurrence.

I have been able to find a better version of the picture.  When enlarged it breaks up, but I suspect that some of you experts may be able to work wonders.
