I think 1 and 3 are quite similar and also 4 and 6 seem like a pair.
But bear in mind many peoples' writing styles were more standard in those times than they are now.

Were they all over a number of years? I ask because I know that my signature has changed quite a lot, several times, over the last 50 years. I think you would have to be a handwriting expert to know for sure. Though the S in 1 and 3 are quite distinctive.
It's a tricky one. I have had to make an educated guess with matching a known signatures to instances elsewhere. There are various things you'd need to check:
1] letter shapes
2] natural slope of the letters
3] natural slope of the writing
4] the way letters are joined up
Are those already in chronological order? That way you can check if a signature is morphing - and if any seem out of line with the drift.
