Thanks Ken,
I am way out of my league here, that explains why I was having trouble deciding which one to pick. The one I have at home looks to be a bit like 1 and a bit like 6 at different times of year.
(6) So I will will take a stab at red filigree lace.
(or is that 1?)

There's so many A. palmatum varieties and many of them are just slightly different to another that its hard to pin them down accurately but here are my guesses:
1. a weeping dissectum variety but with such narrow lobes possibly 'red filigree lace'
2. I don't know the variegated ones well but as a guess 'uke gumo'
3. The colour and relatively undivided leaves looks like 'saotome'
4. Not much to go on here. Is this one dwarf? guess -'Shaina'
5. Has this pic been posted sideways? Looks like a weeping var but leaves are at the wrong angle. Looks a little like 'dissectum rubrum'
6. Another pic that looks like it might be on its side. I can't decide between 'garnet' and 'ornatum'
7. White margins could be 'butterfly' or 'okukuji nishiki' but I have never seen the latter.
