Title: Is this an impossible task ? Mrs Eliza Jelley on her 101st Birthday
Post by: Finley 1 on Tuesday 10 March 15 11:45 GMT (UK)
I came across this pic and would love to send it to my cousin for his 102nd birthday - as it is his Gran.
So have attempted to contact the Newspaper Archive to see if I can get a better copy - not sure that - it will be better or that it will arrive in time.

So hoping....... :) you clever people can enhance it a little for him. (and me :) )

TIA

 What a fantastic idea! And a super article as well! I'm sure he will be thrilled to get it!  Only sorry I don't have the skills in this department!  I could make a mean birthday cake, but don't have the skills in that Department either!

But Happy Birthday to your cousin!  Looks as if longevity is in your genes!

Thank you :) xxx Trishanne

and thanks for the offer of a lovely cake, Jaybenz - cant cook either so he will have to have a bought one.. he loves the pink and yellow squared ones... oh fish... cant remember the name... but it will be on order in time..

Yes theres a lot of longevity bless them all... lets hope it continues... but these days each day is one more to add :)  18 months till the big 70 and so we shall see. 
Both Eliza and Wilf NEVER MARRIED so that may be the answer :) :)

his brother (also a bachelor) tho sadly died at the very young age of 86 :) :) :) his parents 70 and 62 yrs... so its a variable thing.

He is a lovely old chap.

Hi xin, I do hope you can get a better copy from the newspaper archives. This copy is obviously not great to work with, this is as good as I  can get I'm afraid.
I think Battenburg is the name of the cake, I've not had any of that for ages.

Have tried to enhance the whole article for you - not sure if I've made any clearer as it's quite difficult when it's from a newspaper.
Happy Birthday to the 103 year old, he must get his longevity from his Grandmother's genes!

My own Grandmother came from a family of 3 sisters and 2 brothers and together their combined ages were over 475 years!
