No my Dad wasn't a singer - he was a chaffeur - driving 'special' people around London in the 1960s'.

I also think the Shani Wallis sugestion pretty good.

The last we spoke about this he thought it was Marion Ryan - singer from the 1960's.


Hi Bob,

I would go with your dad - something tells me it is Marion Ryan and he's right. Could she have doing some publicity work for Paul and Barry rather than herself - therefore putting her age nearer to mid thirties, somewhere between 1965 - 1969 ?

Your pic isn't similar to a lot of her other images online, it's more natural and less theatrical looking.

But that's just my view anyway, so I'll have to be different. Why did you think it wasn't her ?

This certainly isn't conclusive, I could only find one image that was suitable and even that wasn't a match.

The top right shows one image of Marion Ryan placed on top of yours layered at 50% opacity, using the top left of her face as you look at it. The second is the right side. The bottom obviously looks odd because that's the whole pic I've used. In my picture her head was tilted downwards and she was smiling. The jawline appears to be a perfect match, as do her eyes and hairline.

One thing I've been told I'm completely wrong about is the date, by all accounts her makeup and clothing aren't right for the time scale I mentioned. See what you think anyway and as I said this isn't me saying I've proved anything by doing this.

One last attempt.

An image of her son, again layered at fifty percent opacity placed directly on top of your image with hardly any manipulation, it fits perfectly. What are the odds of being able to do this if they aren't related. I don't know the answer to that.

I do wish someone would either agree, or disagree !  ;D ;D

Well, you convinced me! I've never tried that technique though.

I agree Pels  :)

I did think that dad was right in the first place but didn't like to say as I wasnt' 100% and I couldn't find a closer match.
