DATE and Restoration Please
« on: Sunday 07 June 09 21:00 BST (UK) »
Hi All,

I hoping for a restoration and date of the photo below. I hope I've sized the photo correctly but if not please let me know - thanks.

The man standing at the back is Herbert Jackson and the lady with a baby on her knee is Lily, Herbert's wife.

Herbert was born in 1891 and Lily in 1889. Herbert and Lily married in 1914.

I know of 7 children of Herbert and Lily and wonder if any of them are in the photo. The children I know of are;
Ella b. 1917
Joan b. 1922 - d. 1922
Marjorie b. 1924 - d. 1925
Georgina b. 1925
Herbert b. 1930
Brenda b. 1931 - d. 1931 (twin of Lily)
Lily b. 1931 (twin of Brenda)

I'd really value some help and advice with this photo. Many thanks for reading.

Best Wishes, Rowan Tree  :)

Cleaned up a little.
POSTEES: If possible, PLEASE, scan your images at 300 - 600 dpi, for both ease of restoration and best results
RESTORERS: Feel free to change/improve/colour any restorations posted by myself.  Acknowledgment would be appreciated.

Wow Terry,

Thank you for the amazing clean-up - you've done a fabulous job. I don't know what it is about your edited versions of the photo but they seem so very real. Does that make sense? It's as if I can hear the person behind the camera saying, "Now all hold still please". I can imagine everyone starting to move post "click" of the camera. Kind of haunting but in a very cool way.

Very much appreciated. Best of Wishes, Rowan Tree  :D

I'm back again...

I have another photo of Herbert and Lily but kind of thought the image was beyond restoration. What do you think?

Hi Rowan Tree,

I'm glad you liked the restore :) :) I'll have a go at the other one but if I was you I would put it up as a seperate and new request. That way you will have a better chance of more restores :) :)
