Second from left in the front, middle or back row?

I can't see much resemblance between the single man and any of the men in the group photo - others with sharper eyes might ;)

I've compared them side by side and although I'm not 100% convinced, I do see some similarities - the unruly right side of his moustache for example, and the shape of the face.  Not sure, though.

The first Songster Brigade was formed in 1898, so the first pic is almost certainly 20th century.  (Salvation Army - see the peaked hat at the back)

The cork life jacket did last into the 20th century but the photo is surely older than the other one.
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.

I don't think so - but there is a likeness and perhaps could be related.  Father and son perhaps?

The small picture shows cork flotation devices and that gentleman looks to be perhaps in his mid 50's  to early 60's whilst the top picture would be more recent judging by the flotation vests and the man in the back row only looks IMO to be around 40 - 45

That big picture is fabulous - were they perhaps part of the local lifeboat crew???  Just curious.  The guy in the peaked cap is the coxswain 2nd row second man on the LHS facing is the 2nd Cox according to their life vests

I actually see a closer resemblance between the coxswain and the other photo - when you overlay them their features are almost a perfect match

Cheers

 :) I think that there's  a definite likeness in the eyes. But the nose of the older man (man on his own) looks bigger. The older man looks more distinguished; the other one in the group looks cheekier in spirit. I think there is also a likeness to the man in the bottom row on the far right.
