Can someone please repair a photograph of my ancestors?
« on: Thursday 20 September 07 20:51 BST (UK) »
Rootschatters,
I recently posted a photo of my great grandparents on another thread on this forum. Unfortunately it was all cracked, crinkled and creased. I was told by fellow members that it may be a good idea to put the photo here for restoration. So, would anyone like to give Bob and Chrissie a makeover? It would be greatly appreciated.



By the way, 'mother' is my great grandmother Christina Bryson and 'father' is my great grandfather Robert Connon. I think the photo dates from their marriage in 1919, and they are likely surrounded by Christina's siblings.

Hope you can help.

regards
Windsor

PS. I hope the format is alright.

Wow. These are all great. Thank you very much for all your efforts on this photo especially given the really bad state the original is in.

I shall have to go and show it off to the family now!  ;D
