'GREGOR' Photos

Both photos by 'HAEHNEL & Co Australian Photographic Company'.  These two photographs have identical backgrounds and  there is similarity in the clothing of the adult woman and the children.

Reverse: 'Gregor'

Is this Louise and Eduard GREGOR with their first born Wilhelmine Henrietta GREGOR b1861 or is it their 3rd born [Friedrich Wilhelm b1868]?

Reverse - 'Gregor'

These 2 girls, on a fur rug, may be Wilhelmine Henrietta 1861-1945 and younger sister Maria Louise 1865-1953 daughters Johanna Louise KUCHEL and Eduard GREGOR.

Unidentified photographs

The adults have some resemblance to the family above and the neck wear of the females is also similar. There is no indication that this is a 'GREGOR' family.

Is this Johanna Louise KUCHEL & Eduard GREGOR with two of their children, a girl and a younger boy. Perhaps it is their 4th and 5th children, the older girl Johanna Louise b1870 & Gottlieb Edward b1872.
