Hi, I am pretty blind when it comes to recognizing faces but i think this time they might be the same people. Asking you all just in case i am getting it wrong! I believe this is Julia Elisabeth Cox, the date on the back is August 1929 meaning Julia would be 10 which seems right. Thank you! ;D

Possibly, definitely the same family.
The black and white one on the right have a very similar smile to the girl on your profile picture.

Yes, the girls are sisters! Beatrice would be 14 in 1929 though. :)

Do both photos say August 1929 on the back of them?

No just the one on the left. The one on the right is dated 1916.

definatly a family likeness but I am a little confused if one picture is 1916 and other 1929 there must be a 13 year difference but looks less I think??

Your right! I don't have any other candidates though!?! ???

Here is Beatrice (Known as Mary) next to the photo.

What is Beatrice Mary Cox's date of birth?

What is Beatrice Mary Cox's date of birth?
Mary was born on the 19th of May 1915 in Steyning, Sussex. Her parents are Hugh and Beatrice Cox.
-
Thanks. So how can one of the photos have been taken in 1916? Or is it 1926?
-
I just realized i have made a very silly mistake! I took away 3 from 1919 (Julia's birth year) instead of adding 3, so the photo would actually be dated 1922! Sorry for any confusion!
-
Thanks, so Julia would be 3 years old in the photo on the right and Beatrice Mary would be 14 years old in the photo on the left (or if this was Julia she would be 10 years old), right?

Yes

So you actually don't have a precise date for the photo on the right but you definitely have a date for the photo on the left, or am I missing something?

Yes this is the back of the photo-
-
Thanks, last question: do you know when the photo of your profile was taken?

Unfortunately i don't, there is nothing on the back only her name on the actual album page.

The full picture if anyone is interested.

Thanks. I think the photo could be either Julia or Beatrice. It's hard to say because 3 year old babies still have baby fat which makes them look a bit different from older ones. The hairline is very close to Beatrice's though and I personally think the girl looks older than a 10 year old, so I would guess this is Beatrice aged 14.
And she has long and straight thumbs (like mine ;D) on both photos (the last one you posted and the one of your profile)
-
Just found another one of Julia hidden behind another photo ::). No date but guessing she is around 6.

Side by side -

Beautiful photo :-* I think the girl in the sepia photo is Beatrice. Julia's chin is smaller and her jawline is wider than Beatrice's.

Thank you very much PatLac! I think i will complete this topic now. ;D

To me it looks like the same person :)
-
I think it’s Julia. She looks closer to 10 than 14

I would agree, around 10 yrs, also looks very pre - puberty....Age 14 would at least have some signs of puberty.
Just a few thoughts...

Thanks everyone, I will have a proper look tomorrow! :)

I have decided it is probably Julia since her sister Beatrice would look older like Jo6100 and Cas said.
Thanks to everyone who replied to this topic, i will (actually) complete this topic now but anyone is free to vote and add to the opinion. ;D
