Could someone have a go at translating this please?
The head of the family is William Hunt and his wife is Eliza (not Clara as ancestry tells me). The oldest son should be Jesse and I have no idea at all about the youngest son. Also haven't got a clue what William's occupation is.
Oops, sorry for making the image so huge- how can I not do that in the future? By the way this is the 1851 Census- William Hunt in Long Lawford. Thanks
I use the free program IrfanView http://www.irfanview.com/ to work with images. It can re-size images for you if you need. When working with these faint images, sometimes it helps to make them smaller.
My husband showed me how to use the photo-manipulation tools. Using the 'negative' function (makes an image look like a film negative would look) -- someone was kind enough to send me a couple of photos of gravestones, and the text which can barely be seen in the regular photo shows up better when you look at the stone as a negative. For other images, the 'edge detection' can be a great help.
If you aren't using IrfanView already, give it a try - and if you are, don't be afraid to fool around with the enhancements. You can always make a copy of your image file and then work on the copy, leaving the original intact.
