Title: Minnie Jolly (born 1878) - a colour request
Post by: Avondale16 on Sunday 20 May 18 16:36 BST (UK)
This is an image of my great grandmother Minnie - I'm hoping someone will be kind enough clean up the image and/or give her some colour.

Thank you
Keith

Another.
Are you sure it's who you say it is because this would have to be 1920's & it's much earlier than that.

Another great restore & colourisation - many thanks Jim, much appreciated.
I recently visited a cousin aged 95 who kindly gifted me her family album. Most of the photos were not marked as to who they were so I had to rely on her to identify who was who - she may have got this one wrong. To help me try & identify the woman would you say photo dates from mid 1900's & she is mid 20's??

I would say this was taken around the time Vera was born. A distinctive style popular during the Edwardian Era.

Thanks Jim - so I'm wondering now if this is Vera's mother (Minnie) who was born 1878?

Hi Keith...I had a go too.
Carol

Very true to the original & a lovely delicate restore as always from you Carol.
What a great set of images I have for this lady.
This photo is even more important than I first realised as I now think it is the first time I have seen an image of my maternal great grandmother.

Hi Gisela - she had mid-brown hair but her eye colour is not known. Yes I'm so lucky to have a wonderful set of restores & colours.
