We can see succesful outcomes of Google searches, but not the unsuccesful ones.
If you cannot find what you are looking for, please ask the question through the Comunity Network - or just drop us a line.

In addition to his name, someone has written "Registrar's Clerk" on the front of the photograph.
The photograph was recovered along with others belonging to…
