Title: Old Family wedding photo - Ratcliff
Post by: WendysWillmottResearch on Sunday 13 March 22 23:36 GMT (UK)
Hello

I am wondering if anyone would be able to fix up this photo.

It was taken on the day of the wedding of William Bennett to Fanny Ratcliff - 13th May 1890, in England.

Thank you
Wendy

Thank you so much!

Such a shame they didn't smile for photo's back then.

They must have been quite well off with all the family dressed up - I believe even photo's were expensive back then

Well done Caz and Pat, I can only guess at how much work you both put into this, I started it, but after an hour and a half, I gave up as my eyes were sore and other duties called.
If we restorers were being paid by the hour, we would be rich  ;D ;D

Thanks Carol, nice of you to say!  :-* :-*  I'd definitely be lying if I said it was a quick job, but the photo was so beautiful I thought it worth putting in the hours.

Paid by the hour?  If only  ;D
