Take a look at the Epson FF-680W scanner.
It is designed specifically to take large volumes of amateur prints, scan both sides (if you want) and send the image to your PC. It does not print.

It might be too expensive new, but I purchased a used one, handled a large volume scanning job, and resold the scanner for the same price as I bought it for.

It is unique.
If you want occasional high quality scans then use a flat bed scanner.

My Welsh wife offers the following translation but comments that parts of it may be a bit iffy:

The Death of Mr. William Edwards, Bryn Tabor.

Saturday morning July 1st the community of Tanyfron was stunned with the sad news of the death of the wonderful Christian and good friend, William Edwards.

He had severe paralysis on Friday night June 30th and his soul flew to God the following morning.
He was born in Sarn, Newmarket, Flint in 1836. We don’t know much about the parents, but the Reverend W. Powell (Bach), was his parents’ best man and we understand he would often preach and mention the father of William Edwards as in Paul of Tarsus 2. The family moved to Fron about 30 years ago and he was in communication with the Fron and Mynydd Sion churches the whole time except for some months that he spent at “Nysgwylfa”, Summerhill.

Mandy, you asked which of Stewart's kids I descend from. The problem is an excess of Stewarts.

Stewart Fulton White b about 1805 had the following kids:
Stewart, Ann, Joseph, Jane, William Henry, plus a John and perhaps a James.
This Stewart (b 1834) had the following:
William Alfred Stewart White, Mary E.A. White, and Charlotte S. White.
William Alfred.. in turn produced:
Alfred (b 1911),Stewart (b 1909), David, Alice Eunice, and Jessie May.
I am the son of Alfred. To the best of my knowledge, there is no-one else alive from the Alfred generation. Although Stewart emigrated to Durban South Africa so that is uncertain.

To make it a bit clearer I have emailed a GEDCOM file to the email address on your pain management site. Presumably you have some geneology software that will allow you to view such a file.

HOWEVER. I first uploaded my tree to FamilyTreeDNA as a bare bones tree many years ago and it seems that someone has added a ton of stuff to it going back to 1722!!. It also needs a lot of work with surnames. I will slowly edit all that stuff.
The curious thing is that WASWhite married an Alice Anderson in Liverpool in 1921 who had descended from a bunch of McMurrays living in Port William Wigtown. So it comes full circle.

Now to go back to SFW. It is only my guesswork plus some slim supporting data that places him in NewtownStewart, Ireland. Yes Ireland somewhere but that does not help much if you want to push back further.

Do you have any evidence other than the suggestions on RootsChat that the family lived there??
Also you suggest a link to the leather trade going back to Wigtown. Where does that come from?
Over to you.

Amazing !! A response after 10 years.

Mandy, where do you fit into the Stewart Fulton Tree??

Not that I am very active on this tree but my working hypothesis is that the family were originally in Newton Stewart, near Wigtown, and the local Lord was a Fulton.
Fulton was granted lands in Northern Ireland after 1690 so long as he could fill them with tenants. So he persuaded a number of locals to move.
SF White is listed in the 1841 census claiming a father called John and he was a farmer in Ireland.
I remember seeing a list dated about 1830 showing a Humphrey White in Newtownstewart Ireland with the occupation of shoemaker. I thought at the time that we do not have Humphreys in my family so that must be another White family.

This might tie in with your leather worker thoughts.
Note that the parish was Ardstraw but that covered a fair area including the small town of Newtownstewart.

Be aware and wary of a Junie43 researching this area as she has been quite unreliable.
