Title: Margaret/Bob and Meg
Post by: Shebe on Friday 08 June 07 21:09 BST (UK)

Hello I wonder if anyone can do anything with these two photos?  The small one was taken in 1928 and only says "Meg". If it is the same lady the couple would be very early 1900's but she is referred to as Margaret on that one. 
Anyone think it is the same lady?

Hi Shebe  :)

I think both photos are from around the same time period - the 1920s - and it certainly looks like the same lady...the hair is pretty distinctive!

Hey Shebe,  :)
 
Here is one from me.  I had to really downsize it so it would post.  Let me know if you want any colours altered (I probably have the hair the wrong shade etc), you might want the dress white.  Let me know and I will alter and then send you a bigger one to your email address if you want it.

Talk to you soon  ;D ;D

oops forgot to clean her teeth  :-[, will do so on the next one, sorry  :-\
