How do I get a copy of a photo from metal????

Caz,
Thanks for de-spotting the photo of Mary ann Roberts for me. It's come up really nicely.

Prue,
You've done wonders! Thank you. It's lovely to see it in a frame too....My mother-in-law will be really interested to see the photos.The 1860's would tie in with the older girl possibly being Mary Ann Roberts (See the other photo of the older lady). Mary Ann b 1847, so would have been a teenager in the 1860's. Hmmmm not sure they had teenagers in those days if you know what I mean!!

The only other girls in the same family were Elizabeth 1850 and Alice 1856.

I think it's more likely that the younger girl is Mary Ann (if indeed either of them are!    ), so if we say she was born in 1847, and this photo might be 1861 or so...we could just make it fit!  I thought the younger girl and your photo of Mary Ann looked more similar than the older girl, anyway.

...although, looking again    the shape of the older girl's face is more like Mary Ann...

I think there was another sister Margaret who may have been b around 1847, but I haven't really proved it yet.

I attach another photo of Mary Ann and brother Edward Roberts. I think I shall have to be content with saying Mary Ann Roberts COULD be one of the girls in the photo.

Thanks for all your help in this...I really appreciate it.

Beverly,

Here is a cleaned up version for you.

I tried to stick to the original "colour" as possible. Just lightened it up using screen layers and then taking some of the damage out. The rest is "as was".

Harry,
Thank you very much, the photo looks fantastic. Thank you for taking the time and trouble. How lucky am I that so many people have helped on this?

Hi Beverley

I've looked at the photos for a long time. They are wonderful! I think that the elder girl is the most like your Mary Ann Roberts. Have a  look at the eyes - especially the marked deep setness of the outer curve of her left eye (rt as we look) and the proportions and mouth on this scaled version that I've compiled.

(lots of Mary and Ann  Roberts among my ancestors  )
