Title: Can this picture be coloured?
Post by: hampan on Saturday 08 December 12 14:57 GMT (UK)
Can anyone do anything to bring this photograph (from a newspaper cutting) to life?  It was taken in the 60's of my late father and mum.  A good black and white print would be lovely, but a colour picture would be something the family would love.

Thanks in advance.

Just as an aside to what is near perfect, both had blue eyes.  My dad's hair was black, my mother's hair on this picture is about right.  Thanks again.

Thank you Tommyfromri, even closer still.  Thanks Japeflakes for your efforts too, much appreciated.  I think I have enough now, so please consider this request ended.  Grateful to rootschat & its members for this excellent service.

Niksmum, well I take my hat off to you too.  All of you have been brilliant, and I am bowled over at your willingness to take this on - as you do for so many others too.  They are all that good that choosing between them is too much - we'll just frame all of them!

Thanks again to all for helping out.
