Hopefully I've attached this correctly

This is a group photograph of the Bowering-Travers,  From Dorset When this photograph was taken, they were mainly based in Upwey just outside of Weymouth.  We've dated the photograph as being taken around 1905, due to Great Uncle Frank birth who is the baby being held by my Great Gran.

It looks like a Christening photo. Baby in a gown  and everyone in their Sunday best. A lovely photo

That's what we've always understood the photograph to be, the official Christening of Gt Uncle Frank

My grandfather is the young lad bottom right.  His brother went into publishing, and granddad developed a love of the Steam Train,  he luckily did his dream Job that of Steam Engine driver for the GWR...

Still remember all the models, paintings, pictures he had of Steam Engines, and he lived next to the Railway line at Taunton..  Couldn't be far away from his trains

Wow, Thank you very much such an amazing difference it makes.  And such a quick response. 

I use photoshop a lot for my photography,  but colourisation of B&W photo's isn't something I've undertaken due to the time it take in the learning curve.  So very much appreciate what you've achieved

Just asking but do you think this gentleman has very long fingers or is it just the light etc?
