 I could see that she was wearing a hat/bonnet?  but couldn't make it out so, at great expense

    I bought her a new one. :D :D  Couldn't make out any flowers and the flower shop was shut.

         So here is a B&W

Aw Tomkin, thank you so much for this photo, for the very first time I have been able to see what she really looked like - isn't she the loveliest little thing you have ever seen, and complete with a new hat.  I will truly treasure this.

I did upload another one, but I don't think the image appeared - its one with the kids all dressed up. I will try another upload on a new topic.

Again, thank you very much.

Sally

Thank you Peter for your two restorations - I am very grateful to all who have contributed.

Waynenort - Your right regarding Tomkin's restoration, it really is amazing, and the more I look at it, the more detail I see.

Grandma Burgess was in fact Jessie Redgrave - it's a bit of a tangled story, which I may ask for help on in the future.
