I hope there is enough here to restore. If not no matter but I thought I would give it a try. Thankyou.

I am so glad this photo elicited so many responses from people with connections to Rocky River. With regards to Mary Ann Shaw of the many husbands, I have found that her Faulkner descendants are connected, through marriage, with the Young family who owned "Iona" which is the subject of another of my requests. They are not in my direct line but quite close. Isn't the world a small place!

Could I please have a cleanup. It was taken some time in the 1890s and I suspect it was a Christening due to the presence of the Vicar! Many thanks.

Thankyou all for trying. I felt it may have been a hopeless task and just have to accept that it is lost forever.
Thanks anyway.

This is a scan of an old snap-shot which was so faded as to be almost invisible. I managed to get it to this state but wonder if someone very clever could make it viewable please. I think it is my mother, who was born in 1889, leaning against her mother centre front which would make it about 1891. I found the photo amongst my mother's hidden treasures after she died. If it is not possible thanks anyway.You have all been so kind and helped me so much.Thanks.

This is a scan of the original Daguerreotype which is held by another cousin in Aussie. On the back is written :-             

William Cleghorn 20.8.1852  Left home on 18 Sept.

The family lived in Tynecastle, Edinburgh.

Another of my ancient family photos which could do with a clean- up, please. It was taken before he left Liverpool for Melbourne on the "Ben Nevis" at the age of 18.

Regards,
