Hello,

I'm looking for help in restoring an old photo i have. It was taken in 1926 and isnt in the best condition. It is from the funeral of my great-grandfather and is the only photo i have of my grandad as a child. Ive scanned it in at 2400 res if that helps but can't attach it as it exceeds the attachment limit. If anyone would like to help can they message me and i'll send it on to them.

Many thanks for any help as this photo is very important for my family.

(sorry mods)

I guess without the actual marriage cert we won't know if it or the familysearch record is correct.

To clear things up, is this what you think...

Joseph Smallwoods (previously married to Margaret Bovaird) married a widowed Eliza Greer (previously married to William Greer)?

If in fact, bella smallwoods born 1882 (from familysearch and 1911 census) is Isabella Bovaird Smallwoods, they gave her the name of his late first wife Margaret Bovaird?

Hi Scotmum...

Confused???? I'm confused just reading it let alone understanding it. I've attached a few pictures which i think are of relevance. The first is from a grave in Glendermott cemetary and the second is the marriage record of a joseph and Eliza. It states his father as James Smallwoods but her father as Robert Simpson so either the family search record has been entered wrong or there is a weird confusion here that i don't understand

back to you...lol

Hi,

Just thought i'd drop a post in as well to register myself in the Smallwoods lines. I'm the above mentioned by Scotmum....james and elizabeth are my great grandparents. I have a picture of them with various members of the family and i also have a photo of their grave if anyone is interested. My query now is to determine the link between their fathers...Samuel Smallwoods (James's father) and Joseph Smallwoods (Elizabeth's father). As mentioned before....It seems very probable that they are related. This obviously means that my great grandparents, James and Elizabeth, would be cousins of some sort.

Mark

P.S. Thanks Scotmum for the nod in the right direction....2years of confusion cleared up in 2 days  :)
