Title: Photo dating and restoration please Jane Connor and Ellen Gregg
Post by: StevieP on Sunday 22 June 14 21:22 BST (UK)
Here is a photo of my Great Great Great Aunt Jane with my Great Great Aunt Ellie with possibly two of her brothers. I recently received this in a large lot of photographs from my Grandmother who is certain of the identities in the photo. On the back of the photo is a stamp saying "Velox" and is followed below with the number "38"

I would be grateful for all tries whether they're restorations, colourings or datings as not much is known about when the photo was taken and it's the only one we have of Great Great Great Aunt Jane.

My guess would be late 40s early 50s.

I'd also say late 40's to early 50's - say 1945 to 1955.

Meant to upload this yesterday but got side tracked by work  >:(

Anyway here it is. I think this is 1940's possibly late 30's but I don't think as late as 1950

Thank you all so much for your submissions and they all look fantastic, I've since sent a few of them on to my Grandmother and relations in Canada. It's great to have a clearer view of our ancestors.

Ellen was born into a poor family and she was known for her frugality in later life, she adopted her younger nieces and nephews in at the age of 45 and bought her first camera at 63, upon discovering the price of photographic paper and the effort needed in developing them she never bothered with photos, as a result, this is the only known photo we have of her! Thanks again! ;D
