Looking at the people in my grandfather's life in the early 1900's through his Edwardian post card collection.

Postcard to Mrs Waring
In 1906 Matthew Povey was 76 and his wife Jane 79 and the 1891 census revealed that they took in boarders at that time. This card would seem to suggest that Mrs Waring and her husband were in residence at 51, George Street and able to invite someone to come and stay for a week. Were the Waring's boarders or had they been employed to look after Matthew and Jane?
August 13th 1906 was a Monday. The Brownsville Affair.
