Now I've got the hang of it..

... here's another one.

Can anyone date this one please.?




I think the baby may be my uncle, born 1920 and the soldier my grandad, born 1895. The younger lady is probably my gran and the older lady either her mum or my grandad's mum. The trouble is, my gran and grandad were
1st cousins so it's difficult to tell.

I will post a later photo of my grandad in a minute to see if anyone can tell if it's him.

Thanks again.

Here's grandad, late 1950's to early 1960's (sorry, not sure).



I think maybe the older lady is his mum cos this pic of him looks like her.

And this is gran as a young girl



Just popping out for a while (dropping OH off to watch footie) so will check back soon.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Sorry but I would have said it was more like 1940's WW2 era.

I would have said that the first photo was definately a world war photo - start of the 1940s as the soldier was going away having their photo taken with their family before they went.


Well done for sorting it out though!

Wow, you are all brilliant!
In that case, the soldier must be Uncle Joe, the younger lady his wife (don't know her name) and the baby, my cousin Terence. Which means that the older lady is probably my gran, Alice Humphreys, born 1898.
Does that fit better?
Any ideas how old my gran would be in the younger pic or can you tell anything from her outfit?

I would say the photo of the young lady is definately in the mid 1910s, so somewhere between 1914 and 1918 (WW1)

I think the old lady in the group photo could be the lady in the photo by herself - look at the nose. People didn't have any sort of anti-aging things that are available now so although the lady in the first photo looks a bit older than 40-50 but it is possible...

and last but not least... no3

this is a beautiful picture.... it would come up lovely if it was a 300dpi+ scan

Hi Julie

Thanks for those, they are brilliant! I do have editing software but hadn't tried to improve them.

As for scanning at 300dpi, my old scanner used to have different settings and I could choose the dpi but my Epson RX420, printer/fax/scanner that I have now does not have this facility (at least I haven't found it and I've had it for a good while now).

Thanks again.

Hi Tom

So, you reckon the older lady is my gran who was born in 1898. If the group photo was taken aroung 1940, she would only by 42. Don't you think she looks a LOT older than that? I'm no good at this sort of thing so will bow to your experience on this one.
(I will post another photo when I have scanned it and would like your thoughts).
Anyway, thanks very much for your help and sorry for the long delay in replying. My PC froze and whilst I was rebooting, my sister phoned and she can talk for England - LOL!

Thanks
Lynne
