Hi restorers,

I would appreciate it if this photo of my husbands Grandparents could be dated and restored please. It would be a nice gift for him at Xmas.

I think the photo may have been taken at the time of their marriage in 1885 but there is no date on it so please tell me what you think.

Also, just in case anyone would like to have a go at a colour version as well,

Grandad's Army details were:

He was in the 1st Battalion, The Sherwood Forresters.

Description

Hair: Auburn.

Eyes Hazel.

Thanks very much

Barbara.

Hello Barbara
Early-mid 1880's & married as an intimate pose like this was out of the question prior.

Yep, certainly looks like married.
Think the lady is wearing leather gloves and there is a ridge where her ring would be.

[jim1]

I noticed the ring as well.She's holding her hand in a prominent position to show her status but why wear gloves?

Because she is being posh
