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.

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.
Lee.

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.

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.
