Old Photo Dating and MAtching
« on: Friday 18 January 13 10:48 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone please help me to date the photo of the family. Firstly I think it is an earlier photo of the old man pictured. I need some help to match these photos, does anyone think they are the same man? The jaw/chin seems quite similar.
If I am right and these are the same man (my great great grandfather)then the family photo should be around 1888-91.
The photo was taken in Belfast. The bottom says Abernathy Studios (faded). this is only a copy so I don't know if there was anything on the back.
Any help much appreciated.
Alison

You're quite correct,the family photo is mid-late 1880's.

In my opinion the faces do look very similar so I would vote for yes, it's the same man.

I agree I think it's the same man - ears match, and distinctive cheekbones.

Thanks everyone. We are now pretty certain it is our great great grandparents, which is of great importance to our family.

Here is another photo that I could use some help with. Firstly I need a date and then if anyone wants to venture an opinion of they are the same boys in that are in the original posting???
Again only a copy so nothing on the back to help. Likely taken in Belfast.

Could the two boys in your last picture be sons of one/both of the boys in your 1880's picture?

The dates would work, surely
