I believe this to be my grandmother born 1888 taken in 1924. Possibly with her sister and niece. Love this picture but it is so small. Can it be improved upon so I can print out a reasonable size?
I have added 2 pictures of her taken in 1930-40's to see what you think.

Thanks. I love this photo, now to try and identify the other lady. The little girl looks like a pic I have of grandmother when a lot younger taken in late 1890's.

Hello again, you do have some lovely photos. I think the lady on the left looks very much like your grandma. She was a very brave lady to be seen wearing a swimming costume like that, I'm sure my grandma in 1924 was still in long dresses, mind you she would have been in her late 60s :D :D,

Hi Pat,
Yes I have some beautiful pictures, especially the ones of nana's sisters, one in particular of youngest dressed as highwayman, she was so beautiful. I am so lucky to have them, just wish they had names and dates with them but I have worked them all out. Love my Redman's and Jupp's to bits especially my wonderful father William Jupp Redman my avetar. It is a fitting tribute to him that he was so loved by the people of Arundel and at his memorial service the church was packed and included the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk who thought highly of him. I am so proud of him and miss him so much.

I've seen (but don't possess) a photo of my grandmother in an equally racy swimsuit, she told me they were knitted. Rather like a modern T-shirt, and yes exactly the same effect when wet. The more modest wore a chemise underneath, like I think these ladies are, but it didn't help much, so not all the gals bothered.
And the dashing gentleman of the period wore similar, she continued wistfully ...

Yes this is the same lovely lady. FYI here is a photo of my paternal grandmother (Dixon) and two of her sisters circa 1920.
