Post card to Miss L Povey
This is another of the three cards sent to Miss Elizabeth Povey to an address in Chieveley, Nr. Newbury, Berkshire. All though the time on the postmarks are incomplete it would appear that the three cards were posted at the same time on 15th September 1904.
Miss Elizabeth Povey was the daughter of Joseph and Ellen Povey. She was born in1860 in Shinfield a village just south of Reading in Berkshire. Joseph Povey was one of John P. Goodridge's Great Uncles.
By 1911 she had move to 51, George Street in Brighton to live with her widow Uncle, Matthew Povey. She did not marry and died in 1940 aged 80.
