It is believed these are the eldest and youngest brothers – William and Philip – of the Robinson family in the 1920s. They were both Constables. Although the more I look at this picture, the more uncertain I become. Great Uncle William and Great Uncle Philip were 20 years apart in age and yet these two Constables could almost be the same age. They do look alike though so are clearly Kindred Spirits, although I am not sure what they’d think of Debbie’s Kindred Spirits!

    1. I am trying to check but struggling to know which constabulary as each set of records held by a different county, and these two (if they are William and Philip) worked for more than one constabulary. I am not too sure which one they’d have been working for at the time the photo was taken!!

    1. They do look like twins don’t they but no twins in the family . . . Mum has just reminded me one of the nephews has recently got in touch so I am going to ask him

  15. Very much alike, Becky, and you do get people who don’t look their age.
    Although looking at your header image, you can see drooping eyelids (sigh… 🙂 prominent as one gets older, on the gentleman to the left. So I guess he’s the older one.

    Keeping with history and castles 🙂 here’s my Kind Squares for today and I created one for tomorrow too. Yay! 🙂

  18. They look the same age to me too, Becky, when I see them together, but I looked closer at the great photo, and the one on the left looks older. Maybe not twenty years older, but he has older eyes. Mind you, in those early photos, everyone looked older to me, even the little ones!
    Kindred Spirits indeed!

    1. You’re the second one who thinks that about the eyes, and it what I had been thinking too . . so maybe. I am though going to investigate further. There is a family member still alive who might know

        1. I’ll keep you posted – I am trying one of the nephews to see if they might know. Only made contact a few weeks ago so not had the chance to ask before now

  20. They do look to be more in the same age than 20 years apart. They look so similar that they must be close relatives. Intriguing.
    I´m almost out of squares so my task for the weekend is to stock up for the last week of October squares. Both a kinda nice task and kinda sad as it is almost over for this time.

    1. Squares stacking up sounds a good plan for the day . . . .and you are so right about the intriguing. Going to do some more research!
