My Mother, "Wee Peggy"
« on: Thursday 15 April 21 17:47 BST (UK) »
These are the only 2 photos I have of my Mother, Peggy, as an infant. I was hoping you might be able to enhance their quality. She was born in 1929 in Belfast Northern Ireland, the youngest and only girl of Maggie (McComb) and Robert Nelson. My grandfather left Ireland in early 1929 to emigrate to the United States, and did not meet his daughter face-to-face  until the mid 1930s, when he sent for his wife and children to join him in Brooklyn, NY.  On the back of the one of her alone is written, "To Daddy with best love from Wee Peggy". 
Mom passed away in 2018. Thanks for any improvements you can make to these photos.
