You may be able to see the family likeness from this

Ellen

[Emmeline]

That's amazing Ellen - very alike !

In the earlier photo would the elderly lady on the right be your g/grandma's sister? Seems to be a likeness there. I see she is holding a new babe?

It would be great if you were able to work out who was who !

Kind regards.....

It's a possibility Emmeline, she did have a sister who was 4 years younger.  I don't know what happened to her yet.  That's a line to persue.

Best wishes
Ellen

I've put up plenty of pictures of the Bartlett boys, so I thought I would put up the other side of the family,
The Mathias family.
William Stevens Mathias married Harriet Moore...eventually,
In the mean time they had their family.

Harriet Emily, who I think even my mother thought was just Emily...which gave me such a lot of trouble trying to find her...

[PaulaToo]

William Stevens Mathias jnr, and the youngest of the family, my Mother Jessie May, taken just before he left for Canada.
I think you have seen this before, but I'm getting the whole family together

[PaulaToo]

Eliza Ann, named after her grandmother, but known as Nan or Nancy Mathias.

[PaulaToo]

Walter and Charles Richard, with their wives, Katie and Lilian

[PaulaToo]

Lastly the old rascals themselves, Harriet and William Mathias

[Emmeline]

Hello Paula - Thank you for showing your Mathias side of the family.
Had previously seen the one of your mother as a little girl - I admired it then and was happy to look at it again.
Re the brothers Walter and Charles I thought how much each of the wives was like her husband in their looks. My eldest daughter (Katie)  and husband look like brother and sister so I know this can be true !
You are lucky to have such an assortment of photos.......
Kind regards.
