Is this the same woman?
« on: Thursday 22 February 24 19:16 GMT (UK) »
My Gt grand-uncle John Rowe and his wife Amelia or his wife Inez. The single is Amelia. Can you possibly date the two photos?
Is it the same woman in both pics.

Thanks for your help.

Very briefly as I have to go off for a while -

I think they are different as the one has a 'widow's peak' and the other doesn't.

Also, they look Edwardian.* see beloe re first image.

What dates were the marriages?

I think the first photo is mid-1890s. I think the sleeves are of that era.

Different ladies, top one is fairer with light eyes and looks like a famous actress, the bottom one is dark hair and eyes.

The question too is John Rowe was 27 at his first marriage and 47 at his second marriage. I cannot guess his age in the photo.

Thank you both, I thought it might be the second wife Inez in the first photo because of the fair hair and light eyes, however, when a widow's peak is parted, it resembles the hair in the first photo. (I have the same hairline). Hoping that with your opinions it is the second wife's photo to add to the tree. Kate

Amelia and John divorced in 1892 in the US. Perhaps the fashion was a little later than Eastern Europe. That

He doesn’t look 47 to me so I would go for 27.
