« on: Tuesday 11 September 18 20:56 BST (UK) »
Is there anyone on here who is clever enough to sketch me a pic from descriptive details. 

As they do on Crimewatch etc.. 

Its the only possible chance of a pic of my JP  and bless him he had a really not very happy time of it.

Hi Xin

You are going to get lots of variations on this!

The Police have the witness with them describing what the suspect looked like. The witness can then suggest adjustments e.g. His eyes were further apart; his lips were narrower; his nose was more bent than that. Your 'witness' can't speak!  ;D

I shall be interested to see the results!

This is a very interesting idea. I remember several years ago experimenting with some software that allows you to try and create a face by clicking and dragging different facial characteristics onto an oval shape. I tried to do myself, and ended up with somebody almost but not quite totally unlike me.

One thing that never fails to amaze me, reading documents, especially old military ones, that make everybody's ancestors to be so small compared to the people of today. My partner's family have a portrait of an ancestor who was a ship's captain in the mid 1800s, and looks a very imposing man. It slightly spoilt it for me the day that I discovered he was only 5 foot 6.

That's interesting Xin, I had the idea of a sort of big nose that flared out at the bottom!  I thought he wouldn't look too happy either as he was of 'melancholy cast of countenance'.  If you would like the original, PM me your address and I'll send it to you.
