Thanks Margaret, thats great, I will be able to send my "cousin" one non stripy photo now.
The rest will have to wait until I can get my Gran to lend me the originals.

Thanks for the replys everyone
I have been searching the web for photo dating sites and from looking at them I would have to agree with mid 1870s.
Now in the picture below the old lady seated is my G Grandmother Mary Napier (nee Seaman) I think her jaw looks very simular to the seaded lady in the other photo. They cant be the same person as Mary was born in 1855 but could the younger one be Mary with her Mother?

Thanks for the reply Smurf
The problem is these were done on an old scanner some years ago. I have a new scanner that does a great job but I dont really have access to the photos at the moment.

If you have seen my other post today this is another photo from the stripy collection!
I dont know who these 2 ladies are and I am hoping someone may be able to tell me roughly when the photo was taken. Also what age do you think they are, at first I thought the seated lady was quite old but then noticed she has dark hair not grey.
Any help on this would be great
Thanks

I dont think theres anything that can be done but if there is someone on here is sure to know how!
I scanned some photos several years ago using our old scanner and for some reason it put lines across all the photos. My Gran has the photos and as my Grandad died resently its not the best time to ask if I can borrow them. I have a new contact in NZ who I want to sent some of the pics to so I was wondering if there was anything I could do to improve them. There are loads of photos so its really advice I need as to whether there is
anything not to complicated I could do to improve them.
Thanks, heres an example
(ok 10 mins later after finding photo was too big and then not a jpeg lets hope this works!)

Hi
Sorry not to have replied earlier but a big thankyou to everyone, I will send them to my mum I'm sure she will be impressed too.
Well no doubt I will be back again with another photo in need of help, might even have a go myself!
