Thank you both for your input.

ColC - I am waiting to hear from Birmingham Archive to see if I can confirm or reject the 1921 census entry as being her.

Rosie99 - She lives until 1950 and there is no indication of a mental issue around 1921.

She was a loving support to her life-long friend who was widowed in 1919, aged 40, with four young children.

Another thank you - it was a member of the Sheppard family - as in the 1901 census - that had sent the postcard.

Another mystery solved thanks to Rootschat!!

Wow, thank you, I'd never have got that!  Now to check the census to see who lived there in 1911.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Address in Birmingham

I have a postcard sent in 1909 and the sender has added their address - but I can't interpret it. 

Anyone with a knowledge of Birmingham able to work out what it is - attached (I hope).

Thanks

Warwickshire / City Mental Hospital, Lodge Road, Birmingham

I am searching for a relative, Eva May Sheppard, 1885 to 1950, born Aston, Birmingham.

I am missing her in 1921, but have found a reference in the census for City Mental Hospital, Lodge Road, Birmingham for E Sheppard, b 1885 as Inmate.

Are there any supplemental records which could give me more personal information (not medical) about this lady, so I could see if she is 'mine'?

I find her again in 1930 in Watford, staying with a friend, where she stays for the rest of her life.

On a postcard dated 1914 addressed to my husband's grandmother. Wasn't her normal address.

Going through a family collection of postcards from the 1900s.

Thanks for that, at the moment the names don't connect.

Wondering about the Electoral Rolls for 1914 ish?

Staffordshire / Bismark Road, Wolverhampton - 1914
« on: Sunday 16 November 25 08:57 GMT (UK)  »
In 1914 a relative is staying at 29 Bismark Road, Wolverhampton, she normally lived in Birmingham.

I have discovered that the road was renamed, because of the German connotation, to Carter Road. around that time.

So I am trying to se if she was staying with relatives.

I have been trying to look the address up (FindMyPast) on Electoral Roll for that time - without success - to see the recorded occupants.  The 1921 census, John Taylor's family. hasn't rung any bells.

Any help?

Thanks,  Pam
