A post card to Mrs Hurst



A post card from Florrie to Mrs Hurst from Sheffield. Mrs Hurst was widowed 1898 and appears to have been working as a housekeeper at 103, Western Road. How this card arrived in John's collection is currently unknown, but maybe through his grandmother, Jane Povey's family.

August 2nd 1906 was a Thursday. A Great Storm occurred at Little Staughton, North Bedfordshire on that date. Jane Povey's father, Thomas Cooper was born at Staughton in 1807.
