Title: Derek Meredith - would anyone be able to colour him pls?
Post by: nicdigby on Sunday 31 January 21 14:51 GMT (UK)
Hello,

I am wanting to print out some of my images to show other members of the family. They would love it if I could show them a photo of their father in colour as they only have a few and they're all black and white.

His name is Derek Meredith and he died in 2001 after emigrating from London to Australia in the 1980s.

Many thanks

Nic x

 Can be altered to suit as you didn't give any details of colour, e.g. hair, eyes etc :D :D :D

That's lovely, thank you.

I never met him but all of that side of the family tend to be dark blonde / very light brown / mousy hair with blue eyes.  This photo must have been taken late 1960s...maybe later.

An alternative choice for you.
