Post by: Barkerk2610 on Monday 14 August 17 19:17 BST (UK)
Hi,
Image of Grandmother attached - original torn.
Sarah Keegan, nee Timmins, 1874-1959, lived all her life in Dublin.  Had 10 Children with husband Peter Keegan 1875-1940, Wheelright.
Believe photo taken mid 1890's.
Thanks for looking & trying...

Hello & welcome
To do this justice we need a higher resolution scan as we need to get close in for facial reconstruction.
You are allowed up to 500Kb. on here & this is only 25.
This is what it looks like now.

As Jim says, the file is far too small to do anything meaningful. Scan it at least at 300 dpi, preferably 600.... here's one to be going on with...

Guys, Thanks for your efforts.  I don't have assess to the original at the moment to re-scan it.  Will post again as soon as I can.
Thanks...

Hi,
Apologies for delay in getting back.  Turns out the "original" I was waiting on is actually a scan - nobody is sure where the original is..
Anyway attached is second version - can it be improved?
Rgds....
