Grave stone Task!
« on: Saturday 27 December 08 21:00 GMT (UK) »
I have recently found the grave of my 5th great grandparents Richard Stanton and wife Hannah.

Sadly when i found it the grave stone was damaged and all the writing has gone.

Iam lucky to have found the microfiche with the grave inscription on it that was taken in 1981.

I would be greatful to anyone who can add the writing back onto the grave stone for me.

Here is what was once on the stone:

To the memory of
RICHARD STANTON late of Grange Mill Who died April 22nd 1855
Aged 66 years
Also of HANNAH wife of the above who died 2nd January 1870
Aged 83

Thank you all so much in advance.

Hi Vanessa, here is my attempt.
I had to reduce the size to upload it but if you want a larger copy I could e-mail it direct to you.

Thanks Terry  ;)

Those are the kind of effects I worked with before I began restoring photos.  I've almost forgotten some of the old tricks  ;) .

 :D  WOW these are wonderful !!!!

Karen for a second my husband had to question himself about if the writing was on the stone before the pic was took or not lol Looks real.

Will look forward to seeing if someone else will have a go :D

I guess its easier to add the writing onto the stone when theres no more writing on it. :)

xxxxx

P.S you have all made my birthday more special. thanks so much for helping
