I love looking at old pics of people too - I like seeing how things have changed.
I would prob just clean up the 'spots' (clone tool would be fine), but other than that leave them the same.
Fantastic photos tho, esp the last one.

I'd be tempted not to do too much with them, as they're so lovely as they are. The first one is really sweet. I have a bit of a soft spot for these kinds of photographs and like to rummage through ephemera boxes in antique shops, but it's so lovely to have them of your own family.

They are lovely pics, I would leave them as they are, unless you are unhappy with them 
I have several old pics, and I love looking through them

No I love them as they are!!!!!!
I was wondering when I uploaded them to Photobox, if there was anything that I could do to make the images a little clearer.
Don't want to touch them and alter them, just trying to get the best image possible.
I will get them printed as they are, and see what they come out like
My Nan's Dad was a miner, but his hobby was photography, luckily for us, so the family does have loads of old pics, but they are scattered around, as we all have a few each. The original of these are in New Zealand
