Title: Photograph of John Henry Jenkins
Post by: Questor28 on Thursday 24 April 25 12:46 BST (UK)
Hi,

This is the only photo that we have of my grandfather John Henry Jenkins who died in 1948, 7 years before I was born. He was born in Hakin in Wales but spent most of his life working on trawlers out of Grimsby, England. He is with his son Allen (my uncle) who died in 1940 aged 11. Is it possible to "clean" up the photo and make the faces clearer?

Thank You

Had a quick go but cannot compete with the above so just posted what "appeared"

A couple of goes from me, the second a cropped version to focus more on the people.
