Timms Family photo from 1887 - details on lapel pin

Clues to me are the man's  collar pin (behind the knot). The girls' hair ribbons and woman's blouse.

You're very lucky Stormi to have so much of your family history. I can't get past my Great Grandfather. He left Connecticut, USA and went to Alabama prior to the US civil war. According to him he was born in New Haven, CT about 1814, but no info earlier. After a very long search I finally found his grave site, but's it. Good for you on finding what you have.

Well, I am open to being corrected of course if my information is wrong. Here is a photo of Henry and Phoebe taken outside their Launderette approx around 1900-1910.

In the first photograph Henry should be about 33, in the second photo he should be about 50. Similarly for Phoebe.

Ah - we had that one a while back. Didn't you get the wrong person originally?

I don't think it's the same couple, men keep the same parting all their life.

The two gents I was comparing in those photos I did finally work out. My great great grandfather Edward is not present in that family photo. The man on the right was his brother William. The man on the very left was Annie's husband Joseph.

The only other people it could possibly be would be my great great grandfather Edward and grandma Rose. Do they look alike? (obviously about 15-20 years difference in ages in these photos)

They are the only other couple that had two girls of a similar age seperation.

Oh my.... the more I look at this the more I am seeing them as the same people. I wonder what others are thinking.
