My guess would be that all three of them are under 25, maybe even closer to 20.

Picture taken in 1908 looks about right (I just love those outfits!) - some of the experts will probably be able to date those gorgeous hats.

Second photo is a genuine photo and I'm sure he is "her" brother but is he the brother of the picture of the old lady?  :-\ ........ or is he a son  and brother of lady posing in the  "fake" photo ;D

Never mind the vat of cream girls - my OH doesn't look like that and he is of a similar age! ;D

Didn't the ladies show the ravages of middle age/menopause in those days?

Date of the second pic would be about right (1908) but there is no way that man is 50!!!
I'm with the others, all three in the pic look early-mid 20s.

I also have trouble believing that the mystery photo shows a (almost) 50 year old woman!  Granted, she looks a little older than 20-25, but certainly not nearly 50  :o  If it's proven to be true, however...can I please buy some of your genes, Glen?!  ;D ;)

I think you lot can get in line for the purchase of genes ........... are we holding a lottery then??

I'd say they were all in their 20's ...  maybe early 30's but that's a stretch!!!

Can't believe I haven't come across this thread before.......very interesting indeed! and I agree with everything that has already been said from the start. 

I use Paint Shop Pro X and when I tried to open the first photo all I got was a black rectangle with a bright green line running down the left hand side ??? Very strange.
