Could this be the same person?
-
The hair on the right is throwing me off - is it a wig because her face looks young.
-
Nose, eyes and lie of mouth in a similar shaped face. I think it is likely to be the same. I'm sure someone will do an overlay that should show the match more clearly.

I have absolutely no idea if it’s a wig I personally think it does look like one. Maybe it was just for the photos purpose. :-\

Here we are, a slow transformation/overlay

Looks like the same person to me also :)

They look like the same person to me.
Yes, I agree.
Sandra ;)

The right eyebrow is distinctive and the same on both photos.

-
Though her lips are thinner in the photo of the right I think the mouths are a match. :)
-
It's a yes from me.

I agree the two faces look very similar but the type of clothing being worn suggests to me they are not from the same generation.
Perhaps if some-one more experienced at determining the period of the clothing in each image would help a bit.
-
The first one is from the 1890s, possibly the first half. The second one looks as if it's post-WW1, maybe into the 1920s. Not really a lot to go on in the later one.

I'm sorry, but I don't think they're the same lady. The one on the left has dark eyes, whereas the one on the right has light coloured eyes.
-
It's probably the different exposures of the original photos and the scans, Whipby :)
-
I'm so sorry, but I still don't think they're the same person :'(
The ears don't match - the lady on the left has quite a distinctive, sticky-out ear that's slightly turned over at the top, but the lady on the right has a flat ear with a large opening.
And if there are about 30 years between the pics, I honestly don't think the lady on the right is 30 years older than the one on the left.
The only similarity I see is that they're both stocky.
However, I'm no expert ;D ;D ;D and am sorry to go against the general consensus! Just my humble thoughts, for what they're worth 😂
-
I agree with Whipby about the ear and the 30-year age gap.
No doubt these two are closely related, but I'd say they're of different generations.

Not the same person. It's the right ear that's the give away.
