Title: Cath Delahunty Tipperary, Ireland (1893) - restore please
Post by: Specs12 on Wednesday 24 September 14 20:52 BST (UK)
Catherine (1869 to 1928) was a children's clothes shop owner in Co Tipperary Ireland. Appreciate if the photo could be restored. I've no idea what colour her eyes or hair may have been. Thanking you - her grand nephew.

 What a beautiful photo. I imagined her with auburn hair and green eyes. Is that a love chain she is wearing?  , Tommy

Japeflakes, Saddles, Tommyfromri and Teetotal, Thank you one and all for the truly beautiful restoration work. It really is absolutely remarkable. The original photograph was taken of Cath in 1893 in Waterford City when she was 24 years old. Tommyfromri, she married my great uncle Michael P. Cooney in 1904 so I don't know if it's a love chain she's wearing. Japeflakes, Saddles and Tommyfromri, the three of you also restored her husband's photograph beautifully back in June. Thanks again. Regards Gerard

I think the chain could be a Victorian Trombone link Albert...I recognise the shape of the links from a bracelet that I have:
