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

London Bridge
A card to Mrs Waring from Charlie. The message seems to indicate that Mrs Waring was staying at the Povey's house in George Street while on holiday in Brighton. The 1881 census record shows that the Poveys were taking in lodgers at that time. That was the only census that lodgers are recorded and as Jane and Matthew Povey were both 79 years old in 1906 it is likely that Mrs Waring was a friend or relative.
August 14th 1906 was a Tuesday.
