The last of the originals for clean and colour please

[CarolBurns]

This is definitely one of my favourite photos as we think it is hubby's grandad and four of his brothers and his mother. Grandad was born in 1876 and is the eldest in the group and he looks to be about 10 or so so this photo would have been taken about 1886 or so.

When I first posted this picture it wasn't a scan of the original but a bad scan of a bad scan and you couldn't see the two boys at either side. We thought there was only 3 boys and a mother and a dog but you can just see the boy at the far left and the boy at the far right.

I would be so grateful if someone could do something with this one. I haven't done anything to it

Thanks in advance

Hi

Here is my cleanup - what with "photo restorers shoulder ache" - I can't spend as much time on it as I would wish - anyone wants to carrying on with it please do so.

Cheers

Great clean up Keith - now for a colour up

You can actually see the two boys on each side a lot better

I'm trying to figure out exactly what that is behind the mother and not sure whether it is a tent or coat hungon spade
