I have 2 photos of unknown Ridge family and think the 2 people also appear in a group photo I spotted online in another Ridge family tree. The group photos is taken much later I believe in the USA. The three in the middle are siblings called Joseph Ridge, Mary Costello & Patrick Ridge.
Do you think they are the same people or is it just wishful thinking?

???
Could you give a link to the other photo please?
-
Hi, sorry I keep trying to attach the other 2 but it keeps saying error. Help
-
Is the one that you've put up (group photo) from someone else's online tree or is it yours?
You need to make sure that the photos are 500 kb or less and have a unique name to the forum - call them something with your initials or date. etc.

Hi the 2 photos are attached to my Grandad's gallery page. He is John Ridge 1906-1959 & he is in military uniform.. The 2 photos are of a smartly dressed man with a cap and the other a lady, dressed in black sat down on her own. I have tried to change name on photo but still not working.

I can see two photos.
Which of the people in the group pic are you wanting them compared with?
-
No. 3 & 4 in the group
-
The lady will be difficult as she is laughing on the group pic and her hat seems to cover her forehead and hair line.
The young man has a likeness to both of the men. I'll have to download and play around with them.

The group photo was on Ancestry tree
Attached to Joseph Ridge
Birth 1893

If it helps I can email photos to you. They might be clearer.

I would need larger pics. I'll PM you with an e-mail .If you send them to me at a decent size it might help. Just clip the trio and send that one with the portraits.

Just a word about pictures from trees on Ancestry. I have a picture of my grandparents wedding group which I sent to a relative. He posted it on his Ancestry family tree assigning family names to the people on the picture. There were no names on the actual photograph so he had absolutely no idea who they were. I see it has been copied many times over with his version of who everyone is. You cannot always trust that the names on Ancestry photos are correct

There is also the problem of copyright.

Thank you, I will bear that in mind.

I found your e-mails in my Spam folder. It said that similar messages have been previously identified as spam so I did not download them.
From what I was able to see online ~
The man (3) is not the same as your portrait of the younger one. Other than, possibly. the nose none of the facial features are close matches - mouth seems very small, chin is more pointed and the top of the ears seem to bend outwards.
I can't say much about the lady as she is laughing so her features are crunched up. She does have similar eyebrows.
