For anybody that doesn't know:

http://lostphotos.sgrboards.org/

Is a website where you can add your family photos if they have people you don't recognise in or if you have photos that you want to share with other people in the hope that they will recognise them.

There is now a section for photos of people in Uniforms and a section for different counties if you know where the photo was taken.

We are now in the process of contacting various County Historical Societies in the hope that they will advertise this website and maybe photos that have been submitted from the same counties.

Anybody can add photos to this site, but if anyone has any ideas or wants to contribute in any way to advertise this site please contact Admin at:

Thank you,

I have found a couple of photos in a Leicester Oxfam which I have added to the website today.

One is of a little girl which looks like 1800s. The studio it was taken by isSeville & Co Granby Street Leicester.

There is another which says on the back:

Robert Dale, brother of Elizabeth Oliver nee Dale

If you recognise either of these people, please pm me either here or on Lost Photos and I will email you a copy.

Christchurch School

Hopefully I will be able to add some people at a military hospital my Grandfather took in WW1...Im just waiting for my Aunt to lend me the album

Thanks Devon Dweller, hopefully someone will be able to help you.

I have just got some more Leicester photos, which I will be adding to Lost Photos in the next few minutes.

On the back of a baby photo it says:

Nudged for newbies,

There are now a couple more photos added,

Vicky X

What a fantastic site, I didn't know it existed. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Sandra x

No problem Sandra, the more people who know about this site the better!

If you think you know where a photo was taken, you can put it in the Lost Photos section AND the county section.

Any problems, let me or Admin know,

Vicky X

Now I have put the photos I bought from the Charity shop onto Lost photos, I am now selling them on.

I am putting them on ebay for a few pence each in the hope that real collectors will get a better use out of them. I wish I could keep them or get them to their families, but as I have no space for them and most of them have no info with them, that is not possable.

If you would like to view the ones on ebay, you can search via my username: horsesbynight

Thanks,
