Clean up for G. Grandad please
« on: Monday 27 October 08 00:12 GMT (UK) »
I have seen some of the wonderful work being done with some of the photographs here, and would love for this photo of my g.grandad  John Henry Towns to be cleaned up a little. I think it was taken abt. 1905 in Sheffield.
TIA  :)

Thank you woodentop and Niksmum, they are great! I was wondering if it were possible at all the fill in his mustasce? He appears to have a bit missing. I would love to give this to my dad, it's the only pic that we have his grandad.
Thanks again, your wonderful work is most appreciated.  :)
