Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Photo stored away in Ancestors photo collection
« on: Sunday 23 March 14 18:13 GMT (UK) »
That is a great help and certainly more than I was expecting. The family was based in Northamptonshire, so Oxfordshire being an adjoining county makes for some sort of sense.
The family travelled a lot but it was always more northern ie Yorkshire so this presents a problem still, the family do not look like relatives and I would say are not.
The original scan I have done is a better quality but due to the understandable limits set I could not get it any better.
Anyway Pinetree with this information though something will/may trigger an explanation so I thank you for your very valuable help. ... Peter

This is a photo that is part of a collection started by my gt grandfather. Whilst I can identify 99% of them this is a complete mystery as I am sure they are of another unrelated family.
On the back of the card is a very very faint stamped mark, I can read the words "photography number 402" and the photographer is "J T......." at the "....... COTTAGE". Is it FERN COTTAGE ?
Its a long shot but has anyone seen any stamp mark like this. I would be interested to know the date when the photo was taken. Many thanks ....

Thanks Jim, that date rules out some most of my possibilities and so I have to rethink it through again. I was hoping for 1870 but that is obviously too early. Even with that date I have a job to place any of my relations in that area of Yorkshire. Harrogate yes and also Sheffield so I will have to do more work. Many thanks again Jim

I am having problems in trying to identify an old family photo that was taken by Haigh Greenwood of Brighouse and Mirfield. Does anybody have any information on this studio regarding when they were operating.

Thanks Jim, that sort of stacks up. One of the ladies looks just like my grandmother and the photo taken around 1910 would work very well, who the other lady is I do not know but at least I know who to look for. Very many thanks

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / An early photo

I have a very old photo of a couple of old ancestors. If I knew the rough date I could probably identify them.
When I first saw it I thought it was a negative but then realised it was on a 2"x3" plasticy sort of thin rigid card. It was very dark and I was able to scan it and bring out the features. I do not think it is a photo that is mounted, I think the card is integral to the picure.
I am sure someone will say 'oh thats a so and so process', I have not a clue. I would be very appreciable if anyone has any ideas.

I would like to thank everybody who has managed to restore this very old photograph I have. I now have the task of trying to find out who they are.
There are some really superb restores here and I feel very fortunate and so thank you all again.
