Photo for improvement Grandmother and her sister, Celia Parker and Louie Parker.
« on: Wednesday 20 January 16 22:41 GMT (UK) »
Hello, my first post here.

At Christmas my father brought along a carrier bag containing old family photos. Some are marked and dated, others like this one are not. I have spent many evenings since Christmas investigating our family tree - this is addictive!

The image attached is possibly my grandmother and her sister, Celia Parker and Louie Parker. Is it possible to improve this at all?

It may date from around 1910.

The back of the photo is a standard post card.

Any help or hints greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Ian.
