Color request please. H Davies 1901 Birkenhead UK
« on: Tuesday 22 March 16 21:15 GMT (UK) »
I would be very grateful for some help please. I have lots of photos with names from a newspaper supplement printed in 1901. I'd love to be able to possibly help any ancestors find them. With permission I would love to share their restored photos on a local history page. There is 23 photos in total and guess a lot of work. I hope to find people who would like to share the pride in helping them home  :) Thank you for any help and time in advance.

William Rigby & Ann Holmes, married 31/07/1764.

They all served for the 1st V.B.C.R. Cheshire Greys and were overseas when Queen Victoria died. I think that makes them some of the last serving true Victorian soldiers  :)

Thanks Pat and sorry I didn't get chance to get back to you sooner. Much appreciated for your time and quality work again. He does does look great in the color picture and I'm feeling guilty that I've wasted your time. Sorry I didn't make it clearer but he was with the Cheshire Greys and they wore a grey uniform. The pages I'd like to share them on are not local to me now. I live down South and I'm trying to possibly help them home to family up North.
He does also look great on the B&W one  :) Thanks again

Hi Jon. I've just seen your reply. I'm so pleased you like the photo, it is no problem to change the colour of his uniform. Here he is now in grey.
