Could these photos both be the same person?
« on: Sunday 28 June 15 23:05 BST (UK) »
I found a photograph album a couple of years ago which contains a great number of family photographs, however many of them are not annotated which unfortunately means that I am having a job finding out who half the people are despite them probably being ancestors. Since the album was compiled in about 1918, there is no longer anyone surviving in the family who can tell me who they are. I found amongst them a picture which I thought looked rather like one I have of my Great-Great-Great-Grandfather (Joseph Jones 1861-1926) and I was wondering whether anyone might be able to help confirm they are the same people as I don't tend to have a good eye for these things!

Just to clarify - the one which has been coloured is the one I know to be my ancestor and the other is the one from the album.

Thanks in advance,

Henning

Unfortunately I can't seem to upload the files properly - but I have posted them on a separate site:

I think they could be the same chap - or at least brothers.  :)

Hi Henning, they do look remarkably similar.  Perhaps one of our photo dating experts could date the photo of the younger man from his clothing to help confirm if it is him.
Robbins - Wolverhampton.
Spooner - Monmouthshire & Wolverhampton.
Warner & Loundes - Dudley/West Bromwich.
Dod(g)son - Heysham/Liverpool/Wolverhampton

They do look very alike... Do you think that their eyes are the same colour ? (I know we are looking at Black and white)

The only thing that seems not to let them being the same person, is the depth of the brow. One would expect that this would increase with age. In this case, it seems to have decreased with age. Probably closely related, but do not think that it's the same individual.
