Could anyone date and/or sharpen up this Mcphee photo please?
« on: Thursday 09 June 22 11:22 BST (UK) »

I believe that this is an 1880s image. Coincidentally, I grew up in Hull and my Maternal Grandfather was a Capes!

Hi, Ian. Any chance of a better scan? This one is really at too low a resolution for restorers to produce a good, sharp result for you (without artificially making up facial features).

I agree with Carol re date - classic 1880s clothes  -  and with Peter re size. 

I've done a quick clarification in the meantime so that you may be able to identify some of them.

Many thanks for the date c1880s
Unfortunately I don't have a better scan as this was passed on to me via email
also the pregnancy suggestion.

This one has more clarity and contrast added to the faces. The one who might be pregnant has a little too much damage on her face to get a good likeness.
