Lancashire / Re: Ormskirk marriage 1771

Hi tracing my Wife's family in the Aughton/ Ormskirk area, I found a marriage from 1830 in Wigan.
 The name Tellfay had, over the years subsequently become Trellfall. The children of the marriage when drawn up by the G.R.O. had said the Mother's maiden name was Trellfall!
Tellfay was an Huguenot name of people who had settle in the area after persecution in France.

Hi Sarah, See I am already learning new words... Gimp, Clone, Heal and colourise! I will go back to Gimp, and pay more attention to what I am looking at. Rootschat is the site to point you in the right direction. Thank you all.

Hi, Thank you to Gadget,Sarah and Treetotal for informative replies. I will read up on the links and decide which way to jump. I did see part of gimp's tutorial, but switched off as it was all about how to dress up the word HELLO Maybe I should have stuck with it! But I am Happy for all the help I have received from Rootschat. Again Thank you.

I have taken copies of said photos and installed them on my PC. Next step what program do I need  to help clear rips, creases and missing corners. OK I've shown my ignorance, looked at the posts, and been impressed. There are some talented people out there, I just wish I were one! I have win 10 64 bit.

Hi
Re Longview Huyton prefabs,I have info. My wife lived there until they moved out September 1969.
I have a copy of photo of possibly the show house with elevation drawing of the estate. The prefabs are not numbered, but you could work out which is yours.
