They were conjoined by a ligature at the abdomen, and lived from 1811 to 1874. The term "Siamese twins" originates with them, as they were Siamese – or Thai, as we would say nowadays.
I’m wondering though: has this picture been on here before? It seems to be jogging memories when I look at it, but not ones I can pin – it might have been somewhere else. If it has, and it’s too recently, then let the moderator see to it: I would rather that happen than be responsible for a short-span duplication.
