Terry - thank you so much for restoring the photographs. What a lovely surprise!

You restorers are so clever!  You've got rid of the speckly effect on the first two, and brought the detail out on the lady's dress so well.  I didn't realise it could be done on photocopies.

The last photo is incredible.  So clear, and all those creases and tears gone, and I rather like the "textured" effect on the last one.

Thank you again, I really do appreciate the time and concentration it must have taken. 

Best wishes,
Yorkslass

HI

First time here, and what a find. Seeing these photos has made my day! Benjamin Ashworth was my 1st cousin 3 times removed - his father (John) married my Great Great Grand Aunt (Esther Sowden), so I guess that makes Ughtred my 2nd cousin twice removed.

Thank you for sharing these pictures - would you mind if I added copies into my Family Tree?

Best wishes

Hi again!

Just to add my further 2p's worth.....

A search of the GRO records shows that on the same day that Maud married Ughtred, her sister Mabel also married (to a George Bees) - GRO reference Burnley 8E 457 Jan-Mar 1908. Mabel was 3 years older than Maud so maybe this was a double wedding?

Regards

Hello Mark,

By George, I think you've got it!!

Now why didn't I think of that?  It could explain the two "main" ladies in the middle of the photograph, with their huge bouquets. 

In fact RedMystic suggested it quite early on in the thread, but I didn't follow it up ...

It's great to hear from you, and by all means use the photographs.  It's good of you to ask  :)

Coming late to this, I am fascinated by the First Name Ughtred.

Is it a family surname?  Do you pronounce it like Hugh..tred, without the leading H?
