Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Jarman 1930ish Wales. Can anyone restore please?

Many thanks to all who contributed. I'm spoilt for choice. The different versions are so useful. I'm probably going to use at least three of them, so I can choose my favourite of each person separately, and my favourite of the two together. But you have all succeeded in turning a very dark silhouette into a real person, and I value that a lot. Thanks.

The lady in this picture is a Jarman from the Welsh valleys around 1930. It's the only photograph I have of her so would be grateful for any improvements.

Talk about icing on the cake. The two coloured ones are magic. All the versions are special are different ways. The sepia one's reflect the way these prints were made originally, the black and white ones reflect what they would look like if they had been fixed properly originally, and the colour ones just help to see the view in a completely differnt way. I really am overwhelmed by the responses. Thanks to everybody!

One last version. I couldn't resist some color.
Now that's magic!

Thank you so much everyone. That is an amazing selection for me to choose from. Looks like the one on the right may be holding a box camera. Not sure though. Yes they all look as if they'd rather be in Blackpool, apart from the grumpy looking man who looks as if he'd rather be at home having a glass of whisky.

Find My Past has their baptisms as Anna Evans born 11 Feb 1820, baptised 4 June 1820 at Trelech Ar Bettws, independent church.  Parents Samuel and Mary.

The one for John shows baptism on 5 May 1821, born 19 March 1821. Place was Trelech Ar Bettws, independent church.  Again parents are Samuel and Mary but her maiden name is given as Pugh.

There doesn't appear to be any baptism for Hannah 1816 five years either side.

To me this would suggest that John and Anna/Hannah are siblings.

I think you all have shown me that job is not done!
Thanks.

Thanks. I think I'm going to have to do this the old fashioned way and go through the original document page by page. Either that, or pray for a miracle when my dna results start coming it!

The maiden name is the same for his wife.

Did he own land or is 'farmer'  elaborate  way of saying labourer.
Hard to say, but I hoped that if he called himself a farmer on his offsprings marriage certificates, he would do the same on bsptisms,. So I gave extra markes for Samuel Evans, Farmer.

There are also twins Mary and Sara born 12 October 1825 bap 10 December 1825

Independent Chapel at Trelech

Father Samuel Evans - labourer and Mary formerly Pugh
I don't know whether it's justified, but I discarded this Samuel and Mary because I'm looking for someone who calls himself a farmer.
