Very quick Bee -

Open both files in your graphics package. Select the part you want from each and make these new files. Check they are roughly same size. If not, resize. Open a new file and paste them both in to that, side by side. . as new file.

Thanks, Gadget and everyone else.

As I have no idea when the single photo was taken other than your estimates based on style of dress. how old do you think the lady is?

I though she was mid-twenties, Bee, but might be just a little older???

Goggy, you're confusing me (very easily done :D), I know the ages of the family in the group photo, it's the age of the lady by herself that I was asking about.

As for the parting ...could it just have been a reversal of the negative?

I thought it was the same lady in both pics.  My guess is that the lady in the single pic is age 18/20 or so...but your grandmother would have been 18 in 1901, which is waaaay earlier than this photo was taken.  It is no earlier than about 1910, so if it's your grandmother then she would have been at least 27 in the single pic, and she doesn't look it...although she could have been a very young-looking twenty-something!

Exactly my thoughts Prue when I was cutting and pasting. It just didn't tie in with her date of birth.

But then some people do look young for their age - thank goodness  :D :D :D
