Oh my goodness, these coloured photos are truly amazing!
Thank you so much for doing these - it is like he is staring right at us!
Really quite astounding!
And thank you everyone for your very valid comments regarding the time it was taken.
We are so confused - my Mother was so certain it was Thomas who was born in 1808, as her nana told her this, but now this seems impossible? His son was reputed to be a very small man - what do people think - does this man look of small stature? He was born in 1848, or there is another brother who was born in 1837 whose name also happens to be Thomas?
The man in the photo looks rather large to me, but perhaps that's just his hands that are large, making him look large?
Also, I have done the most detailed scan that I can (again) of the photo that I can which is approx 1 and a half mbs - if anyone would like to look I can email it to them?
Thanks once again, it has openned a whole new can of worms!
