“Dear Ron. I would like to thank you very much indeed, on behalf of the Club in general and of the fascinated audience at Market Harborough in particular, for your most intriguing talk last Sunday. I went straight back home and sorted through my box of old family photographs to apply my new-gained knowledge. I look forward to hearing more about the development of your dating Wizard, in due course and I am sure an article would be very well received. Thanks again for a very interesting morning.

“I am really delighted to have found something so concrete [an original carte de visite] about my relative and I thank you for having it.” Karen Trinder London October 2008
“Thanks very much - the guy in the VENN photo died in 1918 I believe, so that would date it to 1913-1918, which sounds about correct. I’m hoping to write a book about this family (eventually!) so I’ll let you have a copy if you are interested. Regards, Martin Entwistle” October 2008
“Thank you very much for your thoughts about the paintings which have been in my family at least since my gg grandmother Jane Ullathorne in Oldham died around 1900-1915 - which was probably when my great grandmother inherited them and took them with her to Norway. She settled here, married a Norwegian man etc… The oral tradition of my family claims that they are some Ullathorne relatives from the 19th century. Now I want to find out who they were, and dating the paintings is the first step.
Thank you again for the information and the good advice! We need to get some art historians to look at them and give us more information, but you have certainly been of much help” Kristinn Hegna Norway September 2008
“Just to let you know that the Fortescue items you sent me are now with an even closer relative of William Crawford Fortescue, who was one of the Plymouth and St Budeaux branch of Fortescues who lives in Australia, and I have recently made contact with the living son of William Henry Fortescue and grandson of William Crawford Fortescue who lives in California, aged 95. Your service has brought happiness to quite a few family members. Kind regards, David Reading.”
“Please find a cheque for the photographs by Charles Henwood that you sent me. Thank you for all of your help, Teresa Russell” August 2008
“Thank you very much for the information concerning Victor Leon, photographer which appeared on the reverse of a photograph that I have dated 1913. The name was not clear. Thank you again for your help in tracing the photographer and I shall certainly mention your website to anyone else searching for photographers in connection with their family history. Regards, Jenny Plumb” September 2008
