I am attaching two head and shoulders photographs and Caron (another member) will also be posting two other similar photos. Could someone look and compare all four photographs at the same time to see if it is possible that they are all of the same person. Your expertise and advise would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. PU

Yes
Looks like it to me, or closely related ~ same eyes, similar hairline
-
The hair curls in the same direction and the right eyes look the same, I would say it is the same man.
-
I agree..it could be the same man.

I think the same man:

These are the two pictures that PU wants to see if they are the same man in my photograph album. I believe my pictures to be William and John Mayhew as I have their military documents that confirm the medals and stripes. What do you think? Are they the same man?
-
I think he's the same man also, all features match, even nostrils showing same amount, :)

Thank you everyone who has replied, for your help so far.
Can I ask you please, if you would kindly look at now the four separate images at the same time together on replies 4 & 5 (from Caron and myself, P U) to see if you think, it is at all possible that they are all of the same person,as I believe they are.
Thanks.

Having had a closer look...My guess would be that 1 & 4 are the same person and 2 & 3 are the same person...could they be related?

Tricky.
Only just come across this thread. My initial though when seeing the first two pics posted by P U was that both these were of the same man. This was before I'd seen the pics that followed.
Scrolling down I then saw carons 2 pics and thought that each of were of different men because a slight difference in the set of the eyes and face shape.
Comparing P U's two with caron's two I would tend to agree with Carol that Nos 1 and 4 are the same man and nos 2 and 3 are of a different, though related man.

Thanks for your comments Maggie and Treetotal, but I am not sure where that takes Caron and I
with differing opinions as to who the man is.
I can confirm without question that my two photos (1&2) are of my Gt Grandfather George Judge b 1853.These were given to me by his daughter, my Nan.I think the photos were taken about 10 to 12 years apart. Then when I saw Carons two pictures (3&4) recently on the Horse Artillery Topic,
I thought WoW! thats my Gt Granddad! But how did they (3&4) get into someone else's photo album?
My thoughts on this and its only a guess. Did Mary Ann Gould,who lived in Southwark, George's girlfriend/fiance/wife to be,(my Gt Grandmother) give these photos to one of her brothers or sisters, which over the next 100 years or so eventually found their way to Caron? I guess I'd better start reseaching!
Thanks P U

I think the bridge of the nose of the chap in image 1 is wider than that in image 2!!!

thanks for your comments. PU it may be useful to get a copy of his military papers, I think another roots chatter helped get me get these from Ancestry. The papers did say his height, and hair and eye colour, I know from the papers that the person I believe is William Munday was 5 ft five with brown hair and hazel eyes. If you can find information on your ancestor, and he is a different height then that may help determine whether he is the same man as mine.
I also check to see if Georges Wife may be related to my family, but she was a spinster at marriage and she has a different surname to my family.
Regards Caron

I think 1 and 4 are the same man , something about the nostrils.

Looking at the Military photos I think they are two different men,,, Very close in looks maybe brothers ! Same uniform but one gentleman is obviously slimmer as the front decoration is pulled tighter ! Hes maybe taller and younger!
Cheers
