Can anyone help me with my Granny and her twin daughters please?
« on: Wednesday 11 June 08 23:10 BST (UK) »
As it says, the picture is of my granny and her daughters, who are my only aunties and the only one I have of them together...

I'm guessing it was taken about 1940-43 as they were born in 1932.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!!!

Tracey

Both are lovely. Thank you very very very very much!

Definitely one for my wall of pictures :D
And I'm printing them both off for my Auntie who is 76 at the end of the month (girl on the right)

Thank you again!
Wonderful work!

Hi Everyone,

What a very nice picture, where is that cottage I see before me!  It looks like an old one, I was going to make a wild guess, but thought I'd get egg on my face so I didn't!

Brilliant restores, from everyone, the coloured one is lovely but a bit vivid in this light to me. 

You are very clever to be able to do this at all!  All of you.

I know that I couldn't do it!

Hi Sparkle,

I was born in 1931, and from my old photos, I would say yours was taken circa 1939/40 but unlikely any later.

Wonder if your Auntie remembers it being taken,
