It sounds like you're worried about deleting your mom's photos from your camera roll because you're afraid they might also disappear from her device. The thing is, each device typically maintains its own Camera Roll, independent of the Apple ID used. However, if both devices are linked to iCloud using the same Apple ID, that might be causing the photos to sync across devices, leading to the confusion you're experiencing.
Now, concerning the storage issue with these old photos from the 1900s showing up in your camera roll, that's quite unusual! It's possible that there might be some syncing or backup settings causing this. Exploring the iCloud settings or contacting Apple Support could help clarify why these photos are appearing on your device.
Ultimately, if the concern is about freeing up storage space on your device without risking your mom's photos, it might be helpful to first ensure that her photos are backed up elsewhere, like on her own iCloud or a separate storage solution. Then, you could consider removing these older photos from your camera roll to reclaim space on your device without worrying about affecting her collection.
