I keep following this to see if anyone thinks like me but they don't  :)

I think the 'nun' looks younger than the 'nurse'. Is it definitely the same person? I can see the likeness so am not sure there. According to the dates, she would be 74 yrs or thereabouts on that photo.
How is she described on her death certificate?

Like Heywood, I'm puzzled by these two photos.  They certainly look very similar and also think the nun one is younger than the nurse one. Did she have a sister?

I've cropped the two for closer comparison and also flipped the nun one.

I thought the nun one looked younger too...a high res scan of the medallion might give some detail. I don't think she looks 74.

No lines on the nun's face but a definite furrow on the forehead above the nose on the nurse one.
The left eye (flipped on the nun) is so similar with it's extended downward edge and the mouth and chin are near identical. However, the noses are different - the nurse's is longer and more pointy. Apparently, noses grow longer as one ages (mine hasn't ;D ).

Yes, the furrows influenced me, Gadget.  :)

Just been sifting through some of my photo dating refs as the nurse pic looked Edwardian, which I now think it might be - say 1904 +

I see that the studio was Duray - there was a Dura in Swansea at around that time.
