My maternal grandmother needs help
« on: Tuesday 28 September 10 08:37 BST (UK) »
With the clean up associated with the downsizing of the accomodation for my recently widowed sister in law, she has come across the first image I've seen of my maternal grandmother Susannah Jane Smith Coster nee Woodcock 1863-1912, a London girl.

A near daily visitor to this site, I've never called upon the wonderful work done by the enthusiastic and kind members who do this restoration, so here goes.

Susannah badly needs a clean up. I have judged that this was taken in the 1880s or 1890s.

Thanks in anticipation

Dear Tony, Carol, Bill,  Irene & Carolyn

Thank you all very much. It's so good to see her rejuvented. I can now clearly see where I get some of my incredibly good looks from.

A little colour ...I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to fix the edges, but it is bed time at this end of the world :)
I loved this photo and wish I could have done more.
