Hi
Does anybody fancy trying to remove the horrible marks all over this picture of my GG Grandad Thomas Bradshaw Scarisbrick, born 1853? This is the only photo we have of him as he died in 1899. I think picture was taken about late 1870s. It is a little carte de viste?
Thank you

Hi everyone,
I have a relative who lived in Laurel Bank, German Parish, Caroline Boston, she died 1930. Has anyone any idea where she may be buried? Are there cemeteries there?
Grateful for any information.

Hi
hAVE THIS PIC OF WHAT GRANDMA TOLD ME WAS HER FATHER BORN 1879. In the pic he loks 20ish, so around 1900 I thought. But it seems to be an ambrotype - its glass in a small wooden case - and I thought ambrotypes were long gone by 1900? Any ideas?

Hi
We have this photo, plain on the back which I scanned of a family member. The thing is, we aren't sure who and would love some idea of date. It looks like he has a sling? on his arm. We called it the Jewish Man, although there is no Jewish ancestry to us. Any ideas on the hat, too?????
Many thanks
Ben
