Hi all,
i wonder if anybody could possibly have a guess at date for these photos. one of my gggrandfather Harry Luxford alone, the other with his wife minnie. also a touch of colour and a little restoration would be lovely! thank you all in advance,
Lee.

Hi Lee
Here's two versions of the first image

oh Mudge those are lovely thank you!
i love the second one. :)
i wondered about the date for the one of them together as i have absolutely no idea when Harry died so thought atleast if i know the last date i KNOW he was alive it gives me a starting point.
Thanks again Mudge, they're great.

his eye colour!

not much to work on with the smaller pic.. but had a go

oh lovely thank you both very much.
i have no idea of eye or hair colour either so am open to anything! the colour version is fabulous thank you, very dapper. :)
the second one was just a bit fuzzy on my screen before so thought i'd put it up and see if anyone could make it a little clearer and also thought i may help to date as that one was a full length picture.
thank you all very much, they are all great.
Leanne.

Another quick one.

What a handsome couple they make ;D
Sorry, didnt read properly - now see you asked for colour, I cant do that yet :-\ thought I would try making it a bit larger, not sure if I made it any better but my excuse is out of practice ;)

thank you Nan, the touch of colour is wonderful. And Bluehound the touchup is great thank you.
wondered if anyone would have an idea of date?
i have a date i know the gentleman had died by i just have no idea when to start looking for one. if someone could date this picture it may help to narrow down the number of years i have to trawl through.
Thanks again to everyone,
Lee.

Late 1910s very early 1920s? Going on the idea that an elderly lady might hang on to her old long frocks she felt comfortable in and not turn into an IT Girl with her hemline nearly up to her bottom.... :-\
Had to have a go at this one....we have grandparents Harry and Minnie in the family too, but they are in the 40s... and they are leading us a merry chase >:(

Thank you Paula,
perhaps it's not who i thought. Harry and Minnie were born in 1875 so i don't think they'ed be just 45 in this picutre. i know minnie was alive in 1952 as i think i have a picture of her grandaughters wedding. it is not very clear as her hat covers most of her face in the other picture but i think it is her.
thank you for the date. if they are not minnie and harry i wonder who they could be. maybe back to the drawing board for me.
thank you all very much, all these colours and restores are beautiful. :)
