Title: Image query. Could this be the same person?
Post by: JohnCH on Thursday 16 February 12 15:25 GMT (UK)
Are these two men the same person, do you think? 
[The first image is c.1870 and the second c.1912.]
Opinions valued.   Thank you.   JohnCH.

Unlikely, I would have thought.  The older man's nose is much broader

Yes I agree, but is it possible this came with age ?? Their eyes and eyebrows are so very similar, also the neck and jawline. Wonder if they are closely related because their mouths also appear different.

I think we dated the younger man as late 1860s/early 1870s on the other thread.

Not enough info to date the second photo, which might help in deciding whether it could be or not.

Thank you for the thoughts so far.

The second photo is c.1912 when, if it is the same man, he would be aged  about 67 in this photograph.

Hi John.......A late entry on this one. I could not find the original posting so I have posted the restored photo here.
