Title: Restoration of BOAR marriage Cert
Post by: mermaid-nl on Sunday 10 October 10 23:24 BST (UK)

Hi guys,

I found a paper copy (in 2 halves) of my mum and dads marriage cert.  I've managed to scan them and splice them together.  They don't fit exactly but I think it's a pretty good match (not as clever as you guys!)

Is it possible to restore it and bring out the blue printed text so it is easier to read?

The info I have on my father is thus;

On release (in 1948) he was stationed at HQ 4th Inf Bde in Hubbelrath, Dusseldorf Germany.  He was a driver with the Royal Welch Fusiliers.  Army number is 14775416.  Name James Frederick Martin.  Dad was Henry Charles.  He married Anneliese Weseley whose father was Siegmund.

I hope this is enough to be going on with.  Thank you in advance :-)

Thank you Kerryn,

Yes I can read it a bit better now.  Looks like he was in the 2nd something....BAOR.  I'll have to do some more digging :-)

Thank you for your time, it's much appreciated.

If you can rescan at a higher resolution we might get a better restore.
