Others' thoughts wanted please.......completed

Well I thought I had put this on here earlier this morning...but it seems to have wandered off, so I'll have another go...

My first thought seeing the group was that it was bridesmaids, I can't think of another reason for all the girls to be holding flowers.
The family seem to have a distinctive shaped head, flat top, straight sides and pointed chin, and those wonderful large sloping ears.
Easy to pick out family members, hard to say who is who.

For my money the one on the right is the same as the middle one, the one on the left may have been just fed up, but she is holding her head differently.

Auguste in the middle would be at least twenty years older when that photo was taken......and a little plumper.......

Morning all,
Agree tha the pictures (2 side by side) are both youngest girl.
With regard to the 3 photos I think the eye socket shape and ears of the girl on the right are very similar (same)- chin not quite the same, but age may have affected this + smile.
Anyway, off to church in a few minutes - look forward to logging on later and seeing the progress.
Bye for now.

agree with Joy,all the facial features are the same ( particularly those sticky out ears) except the chin but this could easily be a trick of the light.Certainly not the girl on the left.great photo's.

Great Jim and Paulene.....I'm really feeling like I am beginning to get somewhere with this group of photos.

I should have added a fourth photo to that group for Auguste....so have now done so.....

My feelings too, Charlotte and Jim......

Great spot there Jim....certainly didn't notice that.    

So now I feel I have Auguste Deimel who married Johann Ehmcke and Auguste's little sister Therese Marie.

If that is the case, then it wasn't Auguste's wedding photo, if indeed it was a wedding photo.

However, I have been thinking again.....my grandmother actually named the young woman in white in the group photo "Auguste Ehmcke".....and I presumed she meant Johann's wife August Deimel.  (I know...we should never presume anything!  )

But maybe she meant it was Auguste Margarethe Friedericke Ehmcke born 1845.....

Here's the young woman that is dressed in white in the group photograph ....with my gg grandfather Johann Theodor Wilhelm Ehmcke as a middle aged man and two of his daughters....and there seems to me to be a family resemblance.....especially around the eyes.......thoughts this time?
