Title: grandads photo
Post by: deanrclarke on Tuesday 01 January 08 16:21 GMT (UK)

I would be grateful if someone could restore enclosed photo.  t is said to be of my grandfather (name unknown but possible Christian name Robert)  on the back it has been addressed to Mr P**sion 12 Henley Street London( Battersea England and then seemingly redirected to M Butt 18 Western Terrace Nottinghill London.  At the time of  my fathers birth my grandmother was supposedly working for a music hall star ( said to be Jessie Matthews but unlikely I think0 , her address on dads birth certificate is 372 LadbrokeGroveKensington London.  All this in the vain hope of  further clues

Dean,

You will get a better response from the restorers if you rescan and repost at at least 300dpi.

Thanks Irene, this is a definite improvement, and better than I have managed myself.  I have scanned to a higher intensity but then have found it difficult to cut down to correct no of Kb.
can send direct if you wish my email
