Just looking in to see if you got them all..and see you have

If you click on options like Rose say you can change the settings..this is how i have mine

Image enhancing: Original scans
Image compression: Standard-quality images (faster)
Image viewer: Enhanced Image Viewer
All the ones i have put on here are the ones i have a dot on

I have the 1st bit on Original scans as the other hurts my eyes, also you can read a faded image better

Yeah u are right... and Margaret... Frederick...Richard and Rose. Samuel married Rose Boulcott. How u could find this out?

Possibly mom was confused on the names as i notice some names are repeated through the family and not necessarily from the direct line so Dorothy could of been called Doreen

Edith's brother Samuel had a daughter called Dorothy.

Seems unlikely there woud be 2 cousins both called Dorothy.
