How did the early Tolkiens look?

What have they in common? Brown hair, blue eyes, round faces? Or maybe they are not similar to each other. How do you think? Typical English? Or maybe German? And what do you think about them looking East European or Baltic? The early Tolkiens from the line of Johann (John) Benjamin Tolkien who was born in 1752 in Gdańsk (and whose ancestors came from Duchy of Prussia):


Ada Emily Esther Tolkien (1862, Manchester - d. 1937, Florida),
daughter of Alphred John Tolkien, son of George
and grandson of Johann (John) Benjamin Tolkien from Gdańsk

The same Ada E E Tolkien

Ada Tolkien with her siblings

Henry Monteith Tolkien (1854-1938), son of Henry Tolkien,
great-grandson of Johann (John) Benjamin Tolkien from Gdańsk

Arthur Reuel Tolkien, father of J.R.R. Tolkien
and great-grandson of Johann (John) Benjamin Tolkien
from Gdańsk
