I’m currently researching a great great grandfather Alexander Scott killed In world war 1 1916

I have for a long time thought he was someone else until I finally found that Alexander Scott died due to war

After browsing through many photos something clicked and I am convinced the reason why he is in my albums is because he is from the Scott side and Mcintosh and Scott are mixed in same album

My great grandmother was a daughter of who I think is in. The photo

I see a very good resemblance in my great grandmothers sister Mary to who I think is their father and that would add up as the only photo I have he is in uniform

Can anyone help me decide if there is enough likeness in these 2 people

Alexander died age 32 in 1916 and the photo of his daughter was born 1913 not sure how she is in her photo but quite young

Attached are the Who I think is Alexander and Mary Scott ,

Any help given would be appreciated

Well I’d say there was a good resemblance,the young girl is smiling but still
The eyes are not really different, chin too.
Not 100% of course but worth pursuing,best of luck.

As the photo of the girl appears to be a 1930s image and there is a likeness between the two, it could well be his Daughter.

I agree that there is some resemblance especially the eyes. The girls nose is bigger though.

I agree with Carol about the date range.

I think she must have her mother's mouth and ears. The rest look very similar, even the nose.
