Hi  :)

If anyone has time, my father would really like a colour version of this photo of his grandmother Susan. It looks to be quite a formal picture, not sure where it was taken. Maybe at a workplace. I have no idea how old she is in the photo. I'm not too great with ages. She was aged 26/27 in 1897, which is when she got married and she is wearing a wedding ring in the photo so it is after 1897. She died in 1950 aged 79.

Thank you

Hi guys

I know the photo isn't great, but I was wondering whether you would be able to add a bit of colour to this photo. I'm guessing it was taken in the 1950s, 1960s. No idea where, maybe Morecambe Bay?

Thank you  :)

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Decipher Street Name - Manchester - completed

Hi guys

I was wondering whether any of you could help me decipher the attached street name.

It appears in a birth certificate registered in the sub district of Deansgate, Manchester. It appears twice on the certificate, so I have added both to the image. A few months later my ancestors lived on Water Street and there is a Gregson Street on a marriage certificate if that helps logistically.

Thank you

Jill -- just so that you know your query isn't being ignored -- I have checked the Manchester Times on the Libraries site and the Manchester Courier on Find My Past, but nothing comes up for a William Lomas in 1896.

Maybe there are more local publications which other Rootschatters might know about.

Sorry not to be able to help.

Thanks for your time Pennines  :)
