Title: Robert McLaren and his wife Isabella (nee Nicolson)
Post by: Tickettyboo on Tuesday 02 February 21 16:35 GMT (UK)

Robert Broomfield McLaren, born 16 Dec 1892 in Leith, married Isabella Nicolson on 31st March 1916.

Served in WW1 with the Royal Scots and was transferred to the Labour Corps , discharged in 1919 with a disability pension for Bronchial Asthma which was aggravated by his service and died 6th April 1945 (just two months after Isabella died)

Though I do realise its possibly not a big enough file to do much, its the only one we have.
If its possible to even slightly improve the photo we'd appreciate that very much.

Thanks

Boo

Thank you tomkin :-)

They are both a big improvement and far beyond my expectations from a small file.

I tried enlarging the chestnut one to see if it will look OK bigger!

Thanks Japeflakes :-)
Always surprises me, pleasantly, that each restorer brings something different (though just as good) to the individual techniques they use to restore.
