Please tint my gran, Lavinia
« on: Tuesday 14 February 12 18:51 GMT (UK) »
I was so impressed by the jobs you wonderful restorers did on my previous postings... especially the Canadian lady in all its different versions, that I've put my favourite picture up for a makeover. This is my grandmother Lavinia Ashworth with her father, George Henry Ashworth on the occasion of her 16th birthday. She was almost 6 foot tall with 'flaming red hair', I've been told! Unfortunately she died in the Spanish flu epidemic after the first World War, so I never met her. Would anyone like to attempt a date? See how close you can get. Many thanks in advance. Jim

Right about 1912 or so, I think. What a beautiful lady.

When did she marry? She doesn't seem to have a ring here.

Cheers,

I was going to sneak a look last night but managed to control my curiosity until this morning.... it was well worth the wait. Thank you all so much, they are superb... more like painted portraits. I shall be sending these out to family members so your excellent work will be reaching a wider and very appreciative audience. By the way, if my mother's story is correct, this photo was taken on Lavinia's 16th birthday which would make it 1895. Thanks again. Jim
