Do you think this is the same lady albeit 30 years apart in photo.
« on: Saturday 05 May 12 01:31 BST (UK) »
I have a bit of a dilemma on some photos I have of relatives. I think that it is possible that the 2 photos I have are of the same lady - albeit one in about 1962 and the other one in 1992. At first I dismissed it but as it came from the same family the 7 photos i received I am looking more closely at it and thinking it could be the same person.

I just wondered if anybody else could have a look and see what they think. Thanks so much for any help on this.

Like you pineapple88 I think it may well be the same lady. Same nose, same lips   ???

Hi,

I have enlarged both photographs and combined them, to assist other more qualified researchers to assist in identify, if they are the one and same person.

I could be wrong, but I cannot see any resemblance between them.

Kind regards

Definitely could be.
The nose and the eyebrows and the hairline are all very similar.
Remember they are 30 years apart, you cannot expect the visage to remain exactly the same.

I think they are the same lady. The features are very similar and what clinched it for me were the very destinctive eyebrows.

Hi - thanks everyone- I agree I think they are definately the same lady, the bow at the top of her lip and lip line I agree about the distinctive high eyebrows too, jawline too etc Thanks so much for all your help,
