Chulla 4,946 Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Presumably that is Louis Saunt far right on the wedding photo #588. He liked his wing collars - must have been one of the last men to wear them. I can just see Benji with a wing collar to set off his ties. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tabbyoddsocks 28 Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 (Hope this works). My Grandma (Ethel Hudspeth, formerly Wright, nee Thompson) with my Mam (Annie Jessie Hill, nee Wright). Mam was born in 1912 so I guess this pic was taken about 1914, 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,306 Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Edith Elizabeth Ward 1889-1947, married Louis Saunt 24.12.1913. My maternal grandmother. Yes Chulla, Louis was a very snappy dresser. Quite fanatical about looking after his clothes. Never went out without his hat, gloves, shoes polished like a mirror and his silver-topped walking cane. A sort of Victorian version of our Ben! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,306 Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 The Robin Hood Inn, Lambley, around 1910. This hostelry was kept by my great grandfather, John Thompson 1835-1905 after his retirement from farming at Crimea Farm on Spring Lane. After his death, it was taken over by his son, John Thompson junior, my great great uncle, standing in the doorway. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chulla 4,946 Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Jill, Now you have found out how to post images, there's no stopping you. They are a bit on the big side, though. Can you reduce them? You can post more than one image at a time. Catfan will tell you how. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,306 Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Hold up, young Chulla! I haven't got my head round this bit yet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Jill when you paste a photo link in to say NS, keep the NS dialogue box open & then paste your next photo link in as well doing this as many times as you like, max about 6-8 photo's. When you have finished pasting pictures then click on save as per normal. etc, etc. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was going to mention this as well. They all seem to be appearing original size as 720 x 1280 pixels which may be what your scanner is set to. Try setting it to a slightly smaller size when you scan them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
