Damaged photo of grandmother and great aunt
« on: Tuesday 25 November 14 14:26 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,

This is a photograph of my grandmother Catherine (Kate) Neary, standing, and her sister Jane Neary. They were from Staleen in Co. Meath, Ireland and were born in 1890 and 1885 respectively. Catherine was married in 1914 to James Gleeson in Athy, Co. Kildare, Ireland and I believe that this photo is taken before then. Unfortunately it is quite damaged but if anyone can help some restoration I would be very grateful.

Many thanks
Kate

Thank you all so much - I can't believe the difference and a special thanks to Caroline for the "fun" one. You tend to forget that they were not just dressed in sepia clothes all those years ago.

Again thanks your help and fast response is really appreciated.
