Hello Simonsez

John William Scott Harrison is my great grandfather too, which means my mother (daughter of Frank Robson Harrison his eldest son I think) and one of your parents are cousins! I still remember his wife Mary my great grandmother who died at 95 - used to go and visit her in Roker as a child.

I have a few more generations of the Harrison line, and a picture of John William Scott Harrison and his children, and other family memorabilia. Don't want to send these if you already have them, but do get in touch and lets compare notes.

Hi Ian,
Wow, I haven't logged on here in awhile. Very interesting , My dad's (Ernie or John Ernest Harrison) father was John William (Called Bill at some point and his brother was Frank Robson.
I would love to share/compare notes and pictures.

Thanks everyone for their responses and i am not sure how to get a better resolution image as i got this off the familysearch.org pilot website. Im fairly certain that the brides surname is mallaburn but it is so hard to make that out.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / water damage?

« on: Monday 02 August 10 20:41 BST (UK) »

Hello,

Not sure if this is the right place for this but i cannot read this due to i think water damage. I tried to change the contrast etc.. and i was able to make out the following:

marriage entry at very top, water damaged but can barely make out the name thomas elliott and i think Jane mallaburn? Thomas Elliott, bachelor of this chapelry in the *****, and jane mallaburn of ***** this? chapelry (as same?) were married in this chapel by banns? on the fourth day of june in the year one thousand eight hundred and twenty six****************************this marriage between thomas eliott and jane malaburn in the prescence of john elliott, robert micheson?(mallaburn?)

anyone have access to forensic sofware or software capable of extracting the words?

Thanks
