Title: Can these photos be made any clearer please? Granpa Crosby
Post by: chrisdyer on Wednesday 06 December 17 12:22 GMT (UK)
Are you able to make the photos attached any clearer please? A bit of a long shot I know. My mother Jean Crosby is in them both but trying to identify the others.

Thank you for trying, they are quite blurry.  We don't have many photos from Mums side & my sister just found this one.

thank you

They surely are out of focus!!    :o

Isn't it annoying when you don't have many and what you do have is not very clear!

It is such a shame.  When my Grandfather died his new wife didn't pass anything on to the rest of the family. Surprising they even had a camera.  Thank you all for trying though.

Do you have any sailors in these photos?
The two men in the back row Mum +have large white splashes ... I thought it was sun or glare or something on their collars, but then I began to wonder if they were sailor collars.

Were the two photos taken at the same time or are there a few years in between.
The people in the two photos look so much alike, and yet different.

Sorry, nothing spectacular, but I had to try.
Some people seem to pair up in the photos, so annoying that you can't see who they are.

I think they look like they were taken quite close together looking at Mum, well maybe a year or two between!  My uncle & my Dad were both in the Navy but I don't recognise the men in the photo.

I'd put Mum first and Granpa as the second one with as you say a couple of years between.
Perhaps those are sailor colors then.
Pity I couldn't be of any more help. I hope that you will have a light bulb moment some time, and you will be able to find out who you have there.
All the best
