I think this photo was taken before 1914.... any ideas?

Would anyone be able to work some magic on it?

My pleasure, Paul.  Although I might have another go at Granny's left sleeve - it looks a bit tatty in my version now I've seen it posted up here  :-\

Hi Paul,

Here's another attempt for your colloection - I've tried to tidy up the appearance of the clothing a bit, although I'm not sure I've made any difference  :-\

The family will be really delighted to see this photo as it appeared a lost cause. 
Thank you again, Maggie,
