Restore picture of my father George Halliwell and 3 older sisters circa 1936
« on: Wednesday 03 December 14 01:10 GMT (UK) »
Could somebody restore, fix and possibly colour this picture of my father and 3 older sisters.
I think that he is the smallest one and he was born Apr 1934.
He did have 5 older sisters; born 1919 ( Doris) , 1924 (Joan), 1926 (Hilda) , 1928 (Elsie) 1931 (Rose) & 1932 (Dora)
So it might be the 3 younger ones (Elsie, Rose and Dora?)
It was taken in Manchester and is on a post card.

Every one in the picture is no longer alive.

Hi Thalliwell,

On behalf of the other restorers, is there any chance of rescanning this photo - it is very damaged and requires a lot of work - if you could rescan it at 300dpi that would make life so much easier and more pleasant on people's eyes, when they are working on it.

It is hard to get faces right when this is what they are seeing.
