Hello
I am looking for opinions regards picture labeled "is this Eliza Magee". I believe she is a young Eliza Magee who was born December 1820 and died January 1900. The picture in question is labeled by family as either Mrs Henry Douglas or Grandmother (which would be Eliza Magee).
The family lived just outside of Killeshandra, Cavan, Ireland and were at one time well to do. Also with this set of pictures is Eliza's sister Mary Jane McBride nee Magee. Mary Jane was born May 1823 and died September 1901 in New York, USA.
Thoughts? Is the dress of the younger girl in correct fashion sequence to be a younger Eliza (I'm guessing by 20 years?)?
Thank you
Jenni

The first one I believe to be 1880s, the second one, a copy of an 1850s image and the third one late 1850s early 1860s.

The first and second photos look to be the same person.
