Thank you
Do you think It would be better improved If they had not enlarged it,
and I had the original size.

Cheers

Hi Andy,
I am afraid they thought that they were helping me by having it enlarged.
Thank you so much for your help

Hi wondered if anyone can help,
I am about to be e-mailed a photograph of a little lad who died in 1941 , it is a very precious picture, as there are very few if any of him.
The little lad died while he was evacuated and after a lot of fantastic help from ladies in the local community where he was billeted to during the war to we have been able to locate his grave.
The local church is running an article in the parish newsletter as the story is so touching.
To add a picture would really bring  his story to life . I know the picture is not going to be very clear , but as yet not sure of the condition .
Is it possible that the image can be enhanced from an e-mail

Any help from you wonderful people on roots chat would be fantastic

thank you

Hi
 I have just seen your post, not sure how old it is ,however, I see you are researching Joyce's .
I wondered if our paths cross somewhere ,as I am also looking for Joyce's .Most of my Joyce's were Lightermen on the Surrey docks.

cheers

Yes they had three children Eliza 1837 duke street Lambeth
Charles  1839 Duke Street, Lambeth
Ann 1845.
They are not full, just church Banns so no Gosling named just John & Hannah

I was thinking maybe they had to get married so looking at children who died around that time.

Hi Bookbox,
Thank you for looking for me .
I have John on the on the 1841 and the 1851 census as being born abt 1813 this has thrown a spanner in the works.
Ok, I originally had him born as 1812  which would mean only a year out which can happen depending on what time of year his birthday falls, am I clutching at straws.

The thing is I have him down as binding his nephew William in 1848 then his son, Charles in 1854 his son Charles was born 1839.
I have Charles being a substitute in the Doggetts Coat & Badge Competition in 1861.

Have I got it all wrong?

Regards Rosemary

Hi I am very pleased to find this chat about watermen, lightermen
My Great grandfather came from a whole family of Lightermen who had their own boats on the Surrey docks Limehouse, Rotherhithe, Lambeth,Bermondsey,St Topry Horsleydown and the Prince Albert PH on Creek Wharf Poplar.
They were the Joyce family and there seems to be lots of them, they had a connection with the Hudson Bay trading company but I guess lots did as they were huge.
I have come to a stand still with one John Joyce
and really need a hand

Lighterman John Joyce born st Topry Horsleydown Surrey 1813
 Married  Hannah Gosling
children Eliza Charles, Ann

I think I have him bound by Henry Joyce in 1829 12th February, st Saviours
But it may just be another John Joyce
But nothing is known about John before his marriage to Hannah .
Can I order the full binding details online If I can find his father I can move on with my search.
Also, I would like to know more about the boats they had.
I have found it all very fascinating

I would appreciate any help

kind regards

Rosemary
