Many thanks, MJB, Sylvia and Carol some great results there. It gives me plenty of options for my family history document.
I wonder what software you are all using?

This is a faded photograph of my nan that I think my uncle was practising his drawing skills on. I wonder if it can be improved upon?
Thanks,

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Identifying an old photograph, possibly Wales
« on: Wednesday 15 December 10 15:30 GMT (UK) »Hi there,
This kind of detailing is on most of an estate in Wales near Treharris, Mid Glamorgan. The name of the estate is Cilhaul. Haven't seen this anywhere else though.

Thanks Sandra, it gives us something to go on. I'll have a look around.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Identifying an old photograph
« on: Saturday 11 December 10 20:54 GMT (UK) »I remember my mother telling me how disappointed she was when she wasn't allowed to join in the maypole dance for May Day at her school because she didn't have a white dress to wear - this would have been in the late 1920s. Would think this is a school yard, and a similar occasion - there seems to be a bell on the top of the building on the left hand side??
Ermy
Unfortunately I think health & safety curtail a lot of Maypole dances now rather than what you're wearing.
Yes it does look like it might be a school. Just hoping someone might recognise the style of building as it seems quite distinctive. That's if it still stands of course.

Hi All,
Any ideas on the photograph below? It came from Wales but obviously that doesn't mean it's in Wales. I think the only real distinctive thing is the building. Any ideas/input would be great.

Sussex Lookup Requests / Re: George Taylor, Waldron, Walden, Mayfield?
« on: Sunday 07 November 10 13:04 GMT (UK) »Hi Paul
Your Welcome
I got it from the SFHG.You need to be a member for access to Baptisums & Burials.
If you have plenty of Ancestors in Sussex it maybe worth joining.It cost £11 a year.
Omega
At the moment I'm not sure how many Sussex ancestors I've got. Most have been Kent but a few on the Kent/Sussex border. At £11 it seems good value if only for that odd useful snippet of info.

Thanks for that Omega, I wonder what your source of information is as I may need it again and do some more digging.
Thanks Kerry, I guess that's Mayfield and Five Ashes?
