Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: A bit of colour and help identifying the occasion would be great

I would suggest the lady on the left is the bride as the lady to the right has different flowers ? I have wedding photos in this era and many ladies wore plain dresses or their best suit with a corsage or a pretty hat.Bridesmaids back then also seemed to have huge bouquets as well as the bride.

I like your thinking Alan! I feel sure something happened to make him leave all he knew ,whether it was a Dear John or desertion who knows!

I was thinking if maybe Henry didnt colour the photo himself the Photographer may have done it? Might that explain the error in the ribbons? If Grandad coloured it himself he would surely get the colours correct,especially when he was an active member of the RSA wouldnt they have noticed ? Just a thought!

Thanks looby! Its a total nightmare ! Been searching so long now,Im making this my last ditch effort while I still have all my faculties lol! Your suggestion could be possible too.We have always pondered the Jesse too as its not a common name ,one of my Grandkids has the name as a middle name to honour my Father and Grandfather.It worries me that it may not be a " true" name!! I literally cannot find him pre 1927 when he married which is odd as he obviously came from somewhere other than MT Peel in Canterbury! He has covered his tracks well thats for sure! He appears to be a good person and was involved in many things which is a comfort.

Thanks Alan,its easy to lose heart when you cannot find someone! He was my Grandfather  and I should know about him,I wont rest easy until I have found him! Its very frustrating not to have found him in NZ other than Geraldine area and Mt Peel. Ill put his photo up in his band uniform once I know how! Thanks for trying .

Thanks Alan re photos and training for the sea info. I have phoned Geraldine Museum re school photos for my father so I can post them up and hopefully someone may think they recognise family likeness to HJL,wishfull thinking maybe but worth a try like you say.Unfortunately I cant get them for a couple of weeks as the person who scans them is ill.Can you think of where I should look in NZ for this illusive man please? Ive searched so many avenues Im running out of options! Im wondering if he used a different christian name and kept the Lovell surname.He cant just appear out of thin air ,he must have begun his new life somewhere? Ive messaged several UK groups today for photos in the army ,so crossing fingers there!
