Is this the same woman?

Thanks, however, in that case he would be sitting with his first wife Amelia in the first pic.

He looks much older than 27 - nearer to 30s/early 40s. Maybe he was one of those men who looks younger.

Sleeves of lady are  mid- late 1890s.

Do you have the backs that you could put up? The second pic could be earlier - it depends if its a blouse or a dress!

Ive asked Carol for her estimates.

Add  - see the lady in the middle row, left.

Clearly different women.

Available records give John’s birth year 1853-1855, so 25-27 at his first marriage to Susan Amelia Scammons (who would have been just 17), and 43-45 at his second marriage to Inez Fay who would have been about 43.

I think this supports Gadget’s dating, i.e., it’s Inez with John in the first picture.
