Are These Ladies Related?

[Pippakit]

I would be interested in people's opinions on these photos.

The girl in the centre is my grandmother aged 17 and again aged about 30 on the right.

The old picture on the left is possibly her grandmother. This is a glass plate (or ambrotype).

Do you think they could be relatives? I thought the nose could be similar.

Thanks for looking.

... your gran was a fine looking woman Pippakit, I'd only be guessing re her relative because there isn't much to go by ... similar face shape perhaps ... but time-line could be right  mare

  ... Apologies re what I have typed in place of your name Pippakit!! ... I actually spotted the scrambled mess in time to modify it and did so ... at least I thought I had  no idea why it didn't correct and mystified how I arrived at that in the first place...sorry  mare ... have bumped post up the list at least, was just checking to see if you had further views ...

Hi Pippakit,

For what it's worth, I think that the women are related and do see a similarity. It won't be proof but I may help in making your mind up.

  ..now leading you astray Greenvalley ...  I typed Pipasiant instead of  Pippakit ... thought I was rectifying my error ... I've never used spellcheck which would have brought it to my attention in the first place I suppose

Enlarged view of the older woman does show similarity around eyes/brow as well but again nothing conclusive ... expression is so very different in the two women of course too  mare

.... what is going on ... I definitely typed Pipasiant and it keeps coming up as Pipisiant!!!

I just had another little experiment and had a look in preview to see what was showing before posting ... I type your name correctly and it shows incorrectly in preview
