Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Photo date
« on: Monday 30 September 24 07:15 BST (UK)  »
Thank you everyone  :)
My own thought was that it may have been early edwardian as I thought she may have been a sister of my great grandmother who was born in 1880. There are a few lefties on that side of the family so she could well have been left handed.
I don't think they were wealthy, my great great grandfather was a stitcher in the shoe trade so I am unsure whether that would have been well paid. The family had a few studio photos done over the years, I am not sure if that was the usual thing to do at that time or whether they saved up and had them done for special occasions. It's a shame I haven't got access to the original as it would be very interesting to see if anything was on the back.

Hi
Is any one able to give me a rough date on the attached photo. I have tried and failed to date the dress and even the style of chair but haven't had much luck.
The sitter is a relative of mine but I am unsure of who without matching her to a rough date. I don't have the original photo so I can't check the back.
Thanks  :)

Hi
I am trying to find pictures of the electricity board houses that were on St Johns Street in Northampton from the 1950s to 1960s time.
My great grandparents lived in one and I have been trying to find a picture but have had no luck. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be most grateful  :)

1939 England was at war where was Walter?
Is it impossible to think his wife had gone to stay with family.
You stated the death of his first wife is recorded in West Ham that is in Essex not Coventry.
How do you know it was a happy union?

Coventry was bombed into oblivion November 1940.
Walter was 46 so over the age of compulsory enlistment which was 41 so was still at home. I did state that his wife's death was recorded in West Ham and am aware it is not Coventry but she was born there and as she was fairly young when she died, with small children I did think maybe she had gone back to her family while ill. Obviously I have no idea what their marriage was like and can only speculate on things that I don't have any facts or evidence for which would be the case for most people doing family tree research.

Thank you to every one for their time and work. I'm not sure that the one on the 1939 register is the correct one as she was married by then and had taken the Smith surname, she also had moved to Coventry after her marriage. It is very difficult to research the polish and Russian surnames as they have so many spelling variations!

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Kaupawich

I am trying to find info on a Sarah Ellen Kaupawich who was born 12 April 1894 according to her death registration and married Walter J Smith in Coventry sometime in 1925. Sarah was the 2nd wife of my great grandfather Walter. Family legend has it that she was his first wife's sister. The first wife was Castancia Abromovitch. She was also known as Constance and her surname has many spelling variations which makes it hard! Castancia/ Constance was born circa 1893 in West Ham, she married Walter, who was from Coventry in 1917 and her death was registered in West Ham in 1925. She left behind 3 young children - the eldest's birth was registered in West Ham in 1917 and the other 2 were registered in Coventry 1921 and 1922. I have found absolutely nothing that would suggest Sarah and Castancia/Constance were sisters. I have found  Castancia /Constance on the census records and there was no Sarah.
 I cannot find anything on Sarah or much on any Kaupawich person that would fit. I've seen a couple of marriages for what might be sisters of Sarah but have been unable to find anything on any census records or even birth or death records. Hopefully someone might be able to help move me forward
Thank you
