Yeah, I've always thought Paul looks more like his Dad, while brother Mike resembles their mother.
This is a photo of their mother, when she was a midwife. It was used on the cover of Mike McCartney's album, Woman
This is another photo of her

Another photo of Paul's father Jim

Paul and Mike with their father Jim and cousins Ted and Jean.

Ted and Jean were the kids of which of Paul’s Aunts or Uncles?
That can’t be Ted because he was a baby when Paul was 14.

Sorry, tried to edit and couldn’t scroll up to the link icon. Ted is the toddler eating ice cream. He is Bett’s son. She is Paul’s first cousin, whose mother is Annie McCartney who married Bert Danher who was Paul’s mom’s first cousin!

Hi Nancy, I checked a bit online, starting with the link you shared above. It looks like Mike Robbins is the husband of Betty, Paul's cousin, and their son is Ted. Betty Robbins' father and Paul's mother were brother and sister, and Betty's mother was a first cousin to Paul's father Jim. (hope that made sense, lol)
I just copied and pasted the caption to the photo from the site after seeing it, but it's probably Betty in the photo with her husband Mike Robbins and Paul and his brother and father... and Ted (Betty & Mike's son) is the one with the ice cream in the other photo you mentioned.
Mike and Betty have 4 daughters in addition to their son Ted. Amy & Kate - actresses who have been on TV in the UK (& Kate is also a musican) - and Jane - an artist & sculptor. Paul and family commissioned Jane to do the statue of Linda that's at her memorial garden in Kintyre. ([http://see http://www.lindasgarden.co.uk/statue.htm](http://see http://www.lindasgarden.co.uk/statue.htm) ). There's also another daughter... who could be named Jean? lol

According to Mark Lewisohn, Bett’s father, Bert Danher was a first cousin to Mary Mohin, Paul’s mother. Mary Mohin’s parents were Owen Mohin and Mary Theresa Danher. Mary had a sister Agnes May who died in 1918 as a toddler, a brother Wilfred born in 1908, a brother Owen Michael (known as Bill) born in 1917, and a sibling born in 1919 who died as did her mother giving birth. Betty (Bett) Danher married Mike Robbins and had the 4 girls and 1 boy, Ted.
Betty’s mother was Annie McCartney, born 1905, who was sister to Jim, Paul’s dad, born 1902.

Thanks, Nancy! Looks like I had Betty's information backwards. Betty's father and Paul's mother were first cousins... and forgot that Paul's father had another sister besides Ginny and Millie

A very talented and artistic family! Thought it was wonderful that Kate's sister Jane was the sculptor of Linda's statue, at her memorial garden in Kintyre.

Yeah, Paul’s mother Mary, whose mother was Mary Theresa Danher, had a brother whose son was Bert Danher. He married Annie McCartney, Paul’s father’s sister. So Paul, besides being first cousin to Bett, they are also 2nd cousins because their parents are 1st cousins, and Paul is also first cousin once removed to Bert, who is also Paul’s uncle!
(I’m big into ancestry.com. I just found the son of my 3rd cousin on my dad’s side. Our grandparents were from Mayaguez, Puerto Rico and my maiden name was the same as his) He is my 3rd cousin once removed and is 4th cousin to my kids.)

Thanks, Fan4-45years, that is such a sweet photo!
This is a photo of the band Paul's father had in the 1920s... His father is circled in the photo. In some ways it resembles the Sgt. Pepper's album!
