I've just resized it and it's coming out OK for restoring, I think,if you can't get a bigger scan

Ive only resized and not done any fiddling  ;D

I think there's something wrong with your file, Margaret.  It's 0kb and won't open.

I’ve tried to attach again but can’t seem to be able to get it to work.
Thank you for trying to help me. Your last image looked good though.

I think it might be 1920s. Although the woman doesn’t have the typical 20s bob, some held onto their long hair, waved it and and tied it up.

Thanks Ruskie  for approximate date, are you able to give me an idea of their ages?
Gadget did a good job of resizing the photo even though I couldn’t get the image to attach after scanning it.

I'll try to do some work on it later, if you'd like.

I think we dated it earlier that Riuskie - WW1-ish/1910s. The man's collar and woman's dress are  more thiat vintage that 1920s, I'd say.

Did you make sure to change the file name of the photo when re-posting? I think you get an error message if you don't.

Sorry Aghadowey, I’m not working well at all with technicalities at the moment as I’m recovering from a head injury and have been getting bored so delved into family history again.
I’m not able to rescan as I have limited movement with my shoulder too and the scanner is high up.

Gadget - will take you up on the offer please. Thanks
