Can you please enhance or sharpen this pic of the Goodman family, it's dated around 1912-14.

Thank You in anticipation

Great photo to work on .. having breakfast here in Italy  :)
Once you have the basic cleaned image it is fairly easy to prepare alternatives.

Geoff,
This family is from the North East of England, although the small boy on the right of the pic (Hugh Goodman) has a son called Robert, not the same dob, and not an International playboy, the lady went on to have three more children and all survived  except Andrew who was with the Chindit Columns in Burma (Cameronian Rifles).

Thanks for your interest

Kia ora,

Goodness she was a busy lady, only looks like a year between them, I so admire the ladies of yesteryear, I couldn't do it.  Great restore too!

Thanks Kia Ora,
I thinks your comments are very true, they were busy not only in childbearing but trying to keep body and soul together and food in the children, fortunately her husband survived ww1 having been gassed.
So many children died in infancy of simple diseases that are a minor irritation today. This lady is my wife's grandmother, the small boy on the right is her father.

Just one final request on this pic and I will mark it as complete, Tony Freeman would you be so kind as to mark your restorations as 1915 not as circa 1912- 14. I didn't realise when I took someone else's pencil jottings as the date from the back of the pic, The small child in her mum's arms was born 1915. and if Morrie Tony D and Lynntony could do the same that would be bonus
Would that be possible?
Thanks
James
