Thanks for all the replies. I think the lady is either my grandmother or one of her sisters. My grandmother was born in 1893 so if it's her then the picture was taken about 1913 if she was about 20 in the picture.  I do have a picture which I know is her and I attach it for your perusal. If anyone wants to give it a clean they are most welcome!

My grandmother didn't have any children until the late 1920s so I doubt she's pregnant in the picture... (!)

Many thanks

John

Hi John

I love the outfit and the shoes!!

I think it could easily be the same girl in both pictures. The hair is parted in the same place, chin looks about the same size, neither are large busted.  ;) .....

Hard to say if it definitely IS the same as all sisters may have looked similar. Do you have photos of the other sisters to compare?

Here are the other two sisters... the first is Minnie, born in 1888, and the second is Annie, born in 1897. Looking at these, I'd say that the original two pictures are one and the same woman...

Quite a different look to your grandmother.

I'd agree with you that it is also your grandmother in the first photo you posted.

I have no knowledge of such matters, this is purely my humble opinion. I'll be interested to see what the experts think.

Your photos are wonderful. You are so lucky to have them.
