Lizzie stayed in Ireland and married Matthew. Margaret Ann came to Australia. Please tell me what you think
Lizzie & Mathew Mrs Plaisted
This is a history of the Plaisted family lines the world over. The name started as Du Plessis and today there are many different spellings of the surname. Plaisted, Plasted, Plaistead, Playsted, Playstead etc
They look alike but the severe hairstyle may be too significant. They are recognisably different people and so I think if no paperwork helps to establish the connection, I would contemplate DNA matching to see if that would help establish a linkage.

Hi Anne, thanks for your comment. The researcher is 99% certain they are sisters from paper trails. They are just missing that elusive 1%. Though I am sure it will be found one day.
ReplyDeleteHi Claire,
ReplyDeleteI presume the two ladies with the severe hairdos are supposed to be the sisters? I wouldn't give too much credence to any resemblance in these photos. Agree with Anne that as this is a very common hairstyle you'd need more substantial evidence.

The researching is looking for the elusive 1%. They are 99% sure from documented evidence that they are sister. I think all that I needed is the confirmation of the mother and her maiden name. :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds good :)
