[JenB]

You are getting a lovely collection together Jen.

Thank you 

This woman has a very similar hairdo, and the photo is of the same era. I did wonder if it might be the same person, but not sure now  What do you think?

They do look very similar, Jennifer

Added an angled one

That is an interesting one Jen . At a guess if not the same person years apart, mother and daughter or sisters.
There does seem to be a difference in hair growth near the ears .

Very many thanks for doing that 

Although they are very similar, I'm not entirely convinced. I think the woman with children looks older, and her hair at the back appears to be a bit shorter 

[Gadget]

It's very difficult because of the angle and the head of the girl is partly covering the bottom of her hair - what you think of as her hair line is the back of the girl's head, I think. 
The hairstyle is fairly common in that period but not sure how older women might have worn it 

PS - I now think that they are different after doing lots more looking!

[Treetotal]

I think there is a relationship between the two women but having closely looked at Gadget's images, I think they are probably two different women.

[Viktoria]

I really think she has a great resemblance to Princess Alice,Queen Viktoria’sdaughter who went to live in Hesse  Darmstad after her marriage.

She was the mother of the last Tsarina of Russia.
She died fairly young as she nursed her own children through a childhood illness but died from it herself .
The hairstyle is just as hers was.
The children could be boys or girls as boys were dressed as girls until five .
Viktoria.
P.S.looked it up born 1843,so 30 ish when that fashion was worn.
