Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Colour Please Grandad who fought in both Wars
« on: Saturday 04 August 12 08:14 BST (UK) »
Hello everyone. I know this is small...its from a relative. I know its a bit dull as a picture but tomorrow I will visit my Aunt. She has never seen a picture of her dad as a young man. I would like to get this coloured and framed to take with me. My grandad came from a very poor family and was brought up in some of the roughest parts of London. He joined the artillery in the Great War during which he married my grandmother. They fought as many battles as he fought at the front and in 1939, as soon as war was declared he couldn't wait to join up to have a break from Flo and the 11 kids. If you can do anything I will be grateful...Sol

Thanks for all your opinions. I have rechecked and the date in the register is May 22nd 1830. They were a poor family so I cant see why they would pay for a private baptism

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Baptism Record...Family Mystery. Help Please
« on: Monday 11 June 12 16:48 BST (UK) »
This terrible image show the baptism record for William Cooper May 22nd 1830. I have William in the 1841 and 1851 census alive and well. However relations of mine insist the note next to the entry is a notice of death/burial in April ? 1831. Can anyone please decipher what these few words say. I had to photgraph from screen as SEAX wont let me save. Thanks very much, Sol

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Decipher Intriguing 16th Century text please

Roger, Freckneale and Bristologgerheads thanks very much. We seem to be getting somewhere. This writing is in the margin on a blank page in a bible from circa 1580. Why would it be there?And what is it still?
I thought I could see the word slope as well. Many thanks again, Sol
PS Do you think this is secretary hand and if so is this text contemporary with the bible?

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Decipher Intriguing 16th Century text please

Hello all; please find attached a picture of some text I would love deciphered. It is in the margin of some other text I believe is contemporary and I believe both are late 16th Century, but I'm no expert. Not shown and to the right, in the same hand are the words..In the name of God Amen. Is this some kind of jotted down will? I can make out some 'the's and 'shall's and I think there is a name Robt. Paston? I would dearly love to get to the bottom of this, Cheers Sol
