This is an image of my great grandfather's sister Emma who I know was in service for some time but I'm wondering if she is wearing a nurse's uniform here :-\
A clean up of this image would be much appreciated.

A lovely restore Pat - I'm lucky to have recently been 'gifted' an album of photos & it's wonderful to put faces to what were previously just names on a family tree. She looks a kind but determined lady.

A coloured version too
Pat
What a treat to see her in colour - that's so kind of you Pat. Beautiful work as always - she looks even lovelier in colour.
Much appreciated

What on earth will we do when the photos run out Keith...yours are such a pleasure to do and really well scanned. You are always so appreciative and that, for us, is a great motivator ;)

;D ;D don't worry I have few more yet (just been gifted an album by a cousin who has no other rellies interested in FH). I've tried to improve my scanning by listening the RC guidance. I am constantly amazed & moved by the restores that are achieved by you & all the other talented people on here.

Look what I found whilst trying to establish whether she was a nurse or a maid...Interesting :o

The second link describes a lady in the same type of outfit as a servant:

Wow! what are the chances of that Carol - interesting to see that the photographer's studio was one used a lot by the Stevens side of the family. So all in all she was probably in service as a nurse's maid.

It wasn't unusual for people to swap and collect CdVs in Victorian times...many people shared multiple copies with friends and Family. Postcard collecting took over at the start of the 20thC.
I just wasn't convinced that she was a nurse Keith, so had a look at maid's outfits for the era.

This is a verse from my book on dating and collecting CdVs:
Yes, this is my album,
But learn 'ere you look,
That all are expected to
add to my book.
You are welcome to quiz it,
The penalty is
That you add your own portrait,
For others to quiz.

It makes you wonder how many more of your unnamed family photos are being bought & sold on places like eBay without you realising. It took me over 10 years to make contact with a cousin on my mother's side of the family who was willing to gift me the photos I have recently posted.

The best old family ones I have where found on Ancestry trees...If you type in a surname and location...then view "Pictures" in the left hand margin you can get some surprises ;)
