Gosh, I'm so slow - I've read the explanation, but does that mean that they are mass produced? Or in this case, it's a one off of my ancestors?

Thanks!

Oh my gosh, that's truly wonderful, it really is. Thank you so much, that must have taken so much time and skill.

Charles,

Wow, that's really wonderful, thank you so much! What a difference to the original.

Rog,

Thanks very much for that, and for looking for the mark - 1910ish is really interesting. I don't have the couple's (that I think it is) birth dates as yet,but it should be really interesting when I do!

Hi Jim,

Thanks for that!
This photo was with several other family photos from a side-branch of the family. I'm pretty sure they are related, as their grandson looked an awful lot like his grandmother (?) in the photo.
The clothing is rather confusing though - the clothes obviously don't fit the man, and the woman looks like she is in costume! Very odd! I wondered if it was like a dress-up for photos studio, as a couple of other later photos in the group were taken at the Blackpool pleasure beach (and say so on very similar pcs). It's got me puzzled!

Thanks again,

Barbara

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!
