I've done a bit of googling on various sites to try and determine a bit more about this postcard. Firstly the date of the postcard: well it would have either been Edward VIIs reign (1902-1910) or George Vs (1910-1936). Maybe Eileen would be kind enough to have a look at the following site which would narrow down the date. www.edinphoto.org.uk/0_PC_0/0_post_card_history_-_stamps_postage_rates_uk_1890s-1952.htm Secondly the address: - there were indeed residential addresses in Tanfield Court, Inner Temple, however the Blitz destroyed a lot of these buildings and few were rebuilt. But the stamp suggests a pre WWII date so the address would have still been there then. I would also suggest that the sender's address was Crouch End, HORNSEY - which is in Middlesex and at that time in the London Borough of Hornsey but now in the London Borough of Harringay. Thirdly although the sender of the postcard hasn't signed it with his his full name I would think that because he used his initials SgG (probably Goodfellow) they were indeed blood brothers. If there was a clearer indication of the date it would be worth trying to locate these people in Post Office Directories of the time. If you have no takers, Eileen, it could well be worth posting this on the London list. best wishes Liz >> > > Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2008 06:51:44 +0100 >> > > From: "Eileen Austin" <e.austin@virgin.net> >> > > Subject: [SFHG] Mr C GOODFELLOW >> > > To: "SFHG SURNAME LIST" <SFHG-L@rootsweb.com> >> > > Message-ID: <004601c8f208$5982bea0$0100a8c0@newpc> >> > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" >> > > >> > > I have a photograph of three people, an elderly lady seated, >> with a lady >> > > and gent standing behind, taken in a garden. >> > > >> > > It is in the form of a postcard which was addressed to Mr C >> Goodfellow, >> 4 >> > > Tanfield Court, Inner Temple. >> > > >> > > Message reads Dear brother, Thanks for the letter.
