There's a death registration for a James Charlwood (age 57) 1869 Belfast volume 6 page 262 which might fit in with the Fullerton-Charlwood marriage.

Great, thanks for that - for some reason I had never come across this before - is there a new set of Familysearch records or something? Anyway good lead, thanks.

Hi Mike

Found a few references to him, looks like SKEETS is a popular spelling alternative.

Thanks so much David - love that one, it looks a cross between a photo and a painting which I think is great.

I have a technical question for all you photo experts - I wanted to get a copy printed out in a big size say something like A4 size and framed for my Dad - whats the best way to do this? I have used the online places before where you upload the pic and they send you the print. But will these photos be high enough resolution to print in A4 size without looking pixelated?

Thanks again.

Matt

Again so many thanks saddles and niksmum, these look great - I can't believe how you get them looking so good compared to the original!
