Evidence of Post Card Collecting

A card published by The Collectors' Company says much for the enthusiasm that people were collecting post cards. The sender of this card to Miss Povey of Chieveley in Berkshire says

"I thought that you might like to see some of our Wimbledon Postcard. If you have any of Chieveley I should very much like them."

Jane Povey's husband, Matthew was born in Chieveley. He had 6 brothers so the recipient of this post card was a no doubt related to John Povey Goodridge. The 1901 census record for Chieveley suggests that there were no Povey's resident in the village at that time.

September 15th was a Thursday.
