Further to a reply by Lydart opinion seems to be that the chap on the right couldn't b him it was the gent on the left that I thought was a possibility. What do you think Ladyt  ???

1905 +/- a couple of years.
I take it you mean this chap
I would say yes the same person.

I'm with Jim that it's more likely to be the person on the right.

By placing one image directly on top of the other, with only minor
manipulation and adjusting the opacity on the top layer, the two faces
merge.

Here's an example with the second image, ie the man on the right - at
fifty percent opacity.

Obviously you know what you are talking about but not knowing about photo manipulation I do not really understand what you are saying. However, I am happy to go with your findings and thank you for going to the trouble you have to help me sort this family out. As I mentioned before there are too many similar moustaches in the family for me to make a definite decision as to who is whom. I am now assuming that the gent on the left must be a brother, which is possible. Without wishing to push my luck taking up more of your valuable time is it possible that a gent with his family in a photo of a previous posting of mine either "Dating" or "Dating 2" could be one of the men in the latest photo I have posted or at least from the same family. Really appreciate your help Ladyt  :)

There's a distinct possibility that the gentleman on the left is a brother, or very close relative. I tried something similar with his image, with the exception of the eyes I couldn't get one to merge into the other without distorting it and making it look ridiculous. Even taking into consideration a person maturing and putting on weight - their foreheads are completely different.

This is only conclusive when you want to prove who someone definitely isn't - if that makes sense. For example, if you placed an image of Lydart onto an image of mine, because the shapes of our faces are totally different we could never be mistaken for one another.
