Hi there,
I have been looking at some of the amazing results of photo restorations and I wonder if a photo that I have a copy of my great uncle with some of his trophies would restore in the same way as an original photo
This man was my grandfathers eldest brother
Archibald Samuel Creswell BIRTWISLE
my grandfather was Clifford Ernest BIRTWISLE
They were two of twelve children born to Thomas Robinson BIRTWISLE and his second wife Mary Jane BIRTWISLE a draper of Northwich.
Archi, their eldest, was born
2 June 1876 Northwich Cheshire
and emigrated to Canada to become a Mountie in 1906
after being first a police constable and then in the Scots Guards for four years.
This photo was taken prior to him leaving so would be before 1900, so well over 100 years ago.
Before he left. My great uncle gave some of these trophies away to family members.
Archi was a keen athlete. runner swimmer and boxer and had won prizes for these events
My grandfather was given amongst other things a Royal Bonn Biscuit Barrel, pictured in the photo on the striped clothe and a Vienna wall clock. As I lived with my grandfather for many years. I am fairly sure that the clock was the large one in the photograph. I have inherited the biscuit barrel and would love to see the photo colourised if possible.
kind regards
