Thurn und Taxis, the elder line, Part 2

[Rani]

I didn´t thought he is so.



But his parents weren´t the modest ones. The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree...

[Rani]

From ebay, two photos of members of the family.



A lady, photo from 1865, taken in Augsburg
The woman looks like around 25-28.
So it should be a princess born in the 1830s.



A gentleman, 1865, too and taken in München.
The man looks like in his early 20s.


The seller didn´t know the names of the two.
And I have no idea who they could be.
If you know who they are or have ideas, post it

Maybe close relations of Helene of Thurn & Taxis (the lady in waiting of Sisi).

The sisters

Princess Luise von Thurn und Taxis
Born 21 December 1828 Ansbach
Died 7 January 1916 Wuerzburg 

Princess Adelheid von Thurn und Taxis
Born 25 October 1829 Ansbach
 Died 7 September 1888 Waal 

Princess Sophie von Thurn und Taxis
Born 13 August 1835 Wuerzburg
Died 23 June 1913 Sandizel 


Maybe you are right Eric and she is a relative of Helene Kinsky, maybe

Princess Rosa von Thurn und Taxis
Born 22 May 1833 Baja
Died 21 February 1907 Wien 

I didn´t see any photo of her.

There is also the sister of Erbprinz Max anton, but they said, she was pretty

Princess Therese von Thurn und Taxis
Born 31 August 1830 Regensburg
Died 10 September 1883 Wobensin 

[Rani]

The young man could be:

Prince Lamoral von Thurn und Taxis (a brother of Helene and Rosa)
Born 13 April 1832 Maria Theresiopel
Died 9 December 1903 Pressburg

Prince Friedrich von Thurn und Taxis (a brother of Helene and Rosa)
Born 10 October 1839 Sarospatak
Died 4 July 1906 Zdounek, Moravia 

I don´t think it´s one of Max Antons brothers

Prince Egmont von Thurn und Taxis
Born 28 September 1849 Gleichenberg
Died 28 December 1866 Castle Lautschin 


He hasn´t a similarity to Egmonts brother Alexander, husband of Mary of Thurn und Taxis.
IMO both could be siblings of Helene Kinsky.

[Rani]

To compare: Helene

[Rani]

I could be wrong, and he is a brother of Max Anton

Prince Adolf von Thurn und Taxis
Born 26 May 1850 Castle Donaustauf
Died 3 January 1890 Abfalter nr Salzburg 

But he must be 15 on the photo??

[Eric_Lowe]

I think the young woman bore a resemblence to Helen Kinsky, I would think it could well her her sister...

[Rani]

Especially the mouth. Could be Rosa.

But I´m not so sure about the Prince.

[Eric_Lowe]

That´s all. 

I hope I find new infos.

[Eric_Lowe]

Thanks for the info. I think based primarily on the physical similarities at this point, I think we could state that the lady in the first photo "most likely" would have been Princess Rosa von Thurn & Taxis, pending on more information.
