Hi Beryl and welcome  :)

Do you have a later picture of the lady so that we might be able to use some features from that?

OK, this is a first attempt at this sort of thing, so forgive me if it's a bit rubbish.  I don't know how to add a bit on the top of a photo in CS3 so I'm afraid the lady's head is still chopped off.  However, I managed to put her eye in and get rid of some of the cracks.  Hope you like it, the best I could do I'm afraid!

I'll have a go at the original, Beryl, but, like the others, it will have to be a lot of make believe  :)

Won't get on to it until tomorrow though, now!

Hello Sheryl - welcome to the board  :)   If you expand the canvas, you can get more headroom  :D

Thankyou all so much,you are all so clever.Every photo seems to get more like her.
Its the first time I have been on this site for anything and can't believe the response that I have had from everyone.
I will have to try and ask for help researching ancestors with you.
Thankyou again.

Hi Beryl....A couple from me...Apologies if it doesn't look like her.

Not sure if you saw this,  Carol, as I added it later but this is how she looked in later life. Beryl put it up early on and I've just enlarged it  a bit to act as a guide  :)

A fairly good match , I'd say  :)
