Postcard to Mrs Povey from S Baldwin

I have not yet discovered the relationship between Jane Povey and S. Baldwin. As the cards she sent are post marked New Barnet she may be part of the Mould family.

The 1911 census records that an S. Baldwin was a housekeeper at the Middlesex County Asylum at Napsbury Park. John's son, also John was a hospital manager who moved from Exminster to Hertfordshire to undertake a similar role.

July 22nd 1905 was a Thursday. Harper's Weekly featured a cartoon about the problem of yellow fever during construction of the Panama Canal.

Christmas greetings from S Baldwin to Jane Povey. After researching the sender of the previous post card of Hadley Woods S Baldwin is probably a descendent of Mould family.

22nd December 1905 was a Friday. Two events that helped shape the 20th century occurred on that day. In St Petersburg the arrest of Soviet members led to an uprising of Moscow workers and fighting in the street.

The Emperor of Japan and The Emperor of China signed a treaty relating to Manchuria.

Another post card of Hadley Church

A post card to Mrs Povey with a brief message written on the front of the card. I can't work out who sent the message.

This card has a two postmarks. the place, time and date stamp and E33. The E33 is the duplex mark for New Barnet. Some of the cards in my granddad's collection have these marks.

2nd May 1904 was a Monday. The Law Lords ruled in the case Colls v Home and Colonial Stores Ltd. They found in favour of the plaintiff in a case about the right to light.
