Title: Are these the same man? William Northing 1862-1932
Post by: Marmalady on Tuesday 09 February 16 21:24 GMT (UK)

Opinions please!

Are these two photos of the same man?
My Mum knows who the older one is, but the younger one is not named --could it be the same person?

Thanks!

Hi Marmalady, I think there is a very strong resemblance between the two photos.  All the features look very similar to me, the ears are the same shape although a bit more sticky outy on the older man.  I would say they are the same man or a very close relation.  I would guess younger man is in his 20's and the older man in his 50's, dates for the photos would help  :)

Thanks Jool --that was my thought as well

I don't know the dates --Mum just sent me the picture for my opinion  --but I have asked her for more details of who the older one is --will add them to this thread when I get them

Hi
I think they are the same. The eyes, nose and mouth seem to be the same.

Thanks all :)

The older man is William Northing 1862-1932

Mum says the younger one is definitely not his son - she has other pictures of the son

So I am pretty sure it is the same person
