Lancashire / Re: Church of Christ, Hulme

Hi Parmesan,

Did you solve the location of the records? I have now found relatives at Church of Christ, Hulme too.
I have found the following:-

As this is a link to a London Church of Latter-Day Saints I won't be travelling down from Manchester.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: WW2 South Lancashire Burials - Manchester

Hi Phil,

Did you get the photo's of the last three men?
  ROBERT ERIC KAY, 3656893
  CLIFFORD SUTCLIFFE, 3663135
  ERNEST PATRICK LYONS, 3450235

I was down at Philips Park and popped into Droylsden and took their photos if you still need them two.

My grandad was in the South Lancs and I have a photo of him in the Montgomery Club in 1945, and a group photo of about 100 men, I assumed that was taken after the war.

Armed Forces / Re: Waterloo ancestors

Hi Martin,

I have just been on the National Archives website and in WO97/70 they have a Robert Hunter, born NEWTON, Ayrshire, who served in the 2nd Dragoons. Discharged aged 52.
It then states the Covering dates 1793-1824. I assume he was 52 in 1824 which gves him a birth date of around 1772 which could make him my ancester.
It would therefore assum he did not go to Waterloo but as you say the other Rober Hunter could be a relative?

Thanks again
Paul

Hi,
I recently found one of my ancesters deat certificate and it states that he was a pensioner from the 2nd Dragoons. He died at 1 Thorn Court, Lord Street, Hulme on 21 January 1847.
His name was Robert Hunter, aged 76 when he died.
I found a Private Robt Hunter on the 1815 Waterloo medal roll on Findmypast.com

That's all I know about Robert and am guessing they are one in the same.
Living with him on the 1841 census was a William Hunter aged 15.
It states Robert as born in Scotland but William as born in Lancashire.
Can you confirm anything or provide any further knowledge?

Thanks
Paul

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Scanning - Photo restore
« on: Saturday 31 May 08 17:10 BST (UK)  »
I have been trying, slowly, to restore my great grandfathers photo of when he was a young lad.
I can see that some more practise and skills are required from the photos I have seen restored on here.  :o
If anyone would like to help me restore this photo as I am having difficulty, mainly with the instrument as you can see from the attached photos. My before and after.
Thanks
Paul
