Title: Are any, or all, of these men the same person?
Post by: youngtug on Sunday 05 March 17 15:42 GMT (UK)
I am sorry if I have allready asked a similar question regarding these men but I have just had another photo sent me and it raises a few questions rgarding who is who. I reall cannot decide, probably due to wishfull thinking, so any ideas will be gratefully received.

I think the middle two could be the same person.

I think the top two could well be the same chap, no1 probably 10yrs or so after no2.

No3 is a stockier build, so I wouldn't like to say.

No4 looks totally out of character from the others and wears his 'tache like he's always had it,

Thankyou fopr your input. The first photo was taken in his last year of life, the second photo should be the same man earlier in time. The third man is, according to a second cousin of mine who had the photo, the same man but younger.
The fourth photo is a mystery, he looks like a photo of the previous mans fathers brother but he is in a photo that I think was taken much later than he was living.
 Aaah well, you never know what will turn up. [although the more I find the more confused it gets!]

If you look at the "V" shaped indentation between the eyes of the men in photos 2 & 3 they look the same....so do the ears..photos one and four are too poor to make an accurate match.

Coming in late on this, if just for practice at recognition  ::)

I agree the first and second man are the same, I also think the third man has very similar ears and eye brow line  :)

Sorry Carol, just read your post.
