Hi, hoping you can offer an approximate year for this photo.
Thanks,
Kate

Late Edwardian so around 1905-10.

Many thanks Jim, that helps with identifying the man; he is likely the second husband, Walter Sickels.

I don't see a resemblance in the man in the family pic with this one of David Thomas Rowe. Could it be the same man?

Same shaped mouth and nose. I'd be confident to say they are one and the same were it me.

I don't see a resemblance between the two men, the second photo looks be taken later.

I don't see any resemblance either - much more hair on the second man - first has a much more receding hairline.   Don't think he's wearing a hair piece!    ;)

Second photo seems much later, as Carol says.

Also in your second post you say you think the man must be the second husband, Walter Sickels.   so . . . . . . ??    :-\

Not the same in my book, even without the hair. ;)

Thank you Carol, Wiggy, and Peter. The family is having the same conversation and they're now in agreement that it's not the same man. Appreciate your input!
