Title: Please Bring Alive
Post by: On Sharp Blind on Wednesday 06 May 09 14:19 BST (UK)
After many many years we recently found our Mom's cousin again. She very kindly gave us this photograph of my Great Grandparents wedding day (1889). Would it be possible for one of you very artistic people to add some colour and bring the photograph alive.

I might be completely wrong here, but this photos seems more 1900+ than 1889.

Beautiful restores/colouring done by everyone :)

I was about to say much the same  :)
It looks far too modern to be 1889  :-\

Many thanks for all your time and effort......it's really appreciated. I too thought the photograph looked quite modernish, but it's definately them. They both only married once....( got the wedding cert ), but she would have been in the family way at the time...maybe that explains the large bouquet.

Hi, On Sharp Blind :)

I'm sorry, but I think it is more likely to be a marriage of one of their children :-[
Therefore of your grand parents or great aunt/uncle.

The only reason I also say this is that I have received photos from other sources that have been on this board and restorers have dated them and my cousins were wrong as to what generation they were :(

Is there anything on the back of the photo that you can scan?

Cheers,
Trish
