The Marple surname strongly linked with Margaree, Inverness County.

I wondered if there might be a military record but drew a blank on Canada archives.

Here's my best attempt, I have retained the original image and features, just done quite a bit of enhancements to get the image and his face clearer. Each layer of editing I have done I have layered back onto your original image, so that this is still the same person as in your photograph . I hope you like it.

Difficult Job to do with newspaper clippings.

Not a modern restoration perse like the others, but I always try maintain the original photograph when I restore, just enhance.

I don't think this comment was very fair, everyone deserves respect when they are freely giving up their time. These people are long standing restorers unlike yourself:-\

I Completely agree. No disrespect was intended, and I am not a long standing restorer. This was the first restore I've done on here and posted for someone on here so I am just stating the way I have gone about it for future reference of others I may do. Didn't say mine was better, this was my best attempt, just like the others and thats not to say one is better than the other. Simply stating to the original poster how I have gone about this, as it was my first one and I'm not common with the protocol here. Additionally, I have referenced the fact it is layered onto the original image because my restore is quite dark unlike the others and that may not be what the original poster was looking for and therefore the others are more suited and vice versa for a multitude of different reasons and opinions. Following from this, with restoring, people take different approaches and that provides more variety for the original poster. I have added to this variety through my own methods just like others have to provide more option to the poster.

To reiterate, no disrespect was intended, and I'm sorry if it came across in such a way. I would never insinuate that any restore, including my own, is worse or better than anyone else's as that is reserved for the posters personal judgement and opinions.

The only time I usually restore images is for my own family tree and thats the limit of my experience restoring photographs. Just thought I would have my shot at this one, following the same steps I would take with images from my own tree.

Toby there is room for everyone to have a go at restoring and each offering leads to a greater choice for the original poster. We are a very friendly bunch on here and welcome newcomers with their own approach to the subject. So just join in and enjoy taking part.

Hi everyone, thank you to all who contributed to this post, keep up the great work, I gave you a very difficult photo to work with and you all did an amazing job. I hope you will keep replying to my future submissions as I still have a ways to go to complete my Family History book.
