A couple of scruffy photos

Still struggling along on this one during the odd spare moment!

The two chaps are nearly completed, but I think I might try to find a Bowler hat for your grandfather to be holding. His position suggests to me that he is holding something, and I think a hat would look right.

I'm struggling with trying to find a dress for your mother though. If anyone knows of any websites with lots of fashion photos from the 1930s it may have what I'm looking for. It looks either like a long coat or a jacket and long skirt from the other picture you sent me.

Hi Glen,

It's coming on fine - I have the same problems with dresses etc - never really know what the shape and colour should be - have a look here it's a start:

There is quite a bit of detail in the older child's face. Can't do much with the younger one, unfortunately.

Not being a dress wearer myself I wouldn't know Kieth.

Joking aside , it looks to me there might be a glimpse of a fur trim at the bottom.

Right thats it, I've done as much as I can on this. 

I have to admit that it beat me. The picture has been fighting me at every step, and in this case it won. I used every trick I could think of, and some others I can't remember thinking of, to drag as much information out as possible, but there simply wasn't much left.

Not really what I was hoping for, because I have a picture of my granddparents wedding that looks in the same state, and I had hoped that it would be possible to get a fairly decent result. Oh well. 

Well, here it is. At least they all have bodies now, and aren't standing in front of a black hole!

I'm off for a coffee, and a quiet sulk!!

Don't feel down Kiz, in the circumstances you have done great.
Rather you than me

Thank you so much Glen you've worked wonders.  Harry and Joe look very good it's just my Mum's face that isn't right.  However, if I find another photo of her that you might be able to use to get her face right I'll get back to you  (cheeky aren't I?).

Certainly an improvement on what I did have!

Thanks a million
Jan
