1960s fading away McCarthy Children
« on: Friday 11 September 15 11:53 BST (UK) »
Hi there,

The right hand side of this old photo has faded faster than the rest of the image.  I've had a play with it but when the left hand of the picture looks okay, the baby on the right vanishes all together.

I'd really appreciate somebody with better skill than me having a go.

Gosh, I wasn't expecting so many results and in such a short space of time.

Many thanks Japeflakes, Pat, Pablo and John, they're much better than my attempts. 
I'll print them all off to see what my printer makes of them.

It's only now that I've been perusing all the photos (including the original) that it's come to me how our memory can play tricks.   By that, I mean that I remember my father-in-law Jim never seemed to look old as his moustache never went grey and his dark hair was the "salt and pepper" type with more dark "pepper" than white salt ( if you see what I mean lol).

Wikipedia states that carrycots were invented in the 1970s but the lightweight yellow plastic carrycot with its own integral handles seen in the photo was bought secondhand from somebody in HM Forces, England, in 1965 by Bryan.  Six weeks after this photo was taken we took it to France then Holland where it was passed onto another Forces family.

Thank you for your lovely interpretation Carolyn.

I've now downloaded it and must say it looks very posh with the border.
