Photo restoration, my Aunt Dora is on the bottom row on the left
« on: Saturday 18 August 18 14:20 BST (UK) »
I would love this photo to be restored, it was taken in Birmingham Warwickshire. My great aunt is the bride, and my Aunt Dora is on the bottom row on the left.


People in photo: Top L-R Ada Hughes (a friend of the bride), Tom Sims (brother of the bride), Herbert Henry Hurley (groom), Jane Sims-Hurley (bride), Alfred "Dick" Hurley (groom's brother), Arthur Hughes (friend of groom); Bottom L-R: Dora Sims, Nora Hurley-Bransby (groom's sister), Elizabeth Sims (bride's sister)

It would be worth getting this scanned properly rather than photographed as the 're' photo is out of focus.

Welcome to Rootschat, Tina.

I've had a go but, as Handpandy has indicated, restorers could do a much better job for you than my effort if you could provide a really good scan of the photo.

Cheers,
Peter
