Found---Somebody else's family photographs/papers

[marysma]

Hello all,

              not posted on this site for a while,due to exams and family commitments---but it is nice to come back to.

Not sure where to put this post--but i'm sure somebody will point me in the right direction.

My husband has just done a house clearance for a friend,and when clearing out the attic he found old suitcases full of odds and ends and loads of old photographs,papers,newspaper clippings,apprentiship papers,WW1 postcards(some embroidered) a veritable treasure trove of sombody's family history.

The house is in Aberdare,S,Wales but looking through the stuff most of this persons earlier years were spent in ;

Alverton Avenue in Poole,Dorset

67 Leamington House-West Street,Southsea,Hants

Newport-Isle of Wight

Bombay--India

Harrowgate

Some of the names on some of the letters and post cards are;

Charlotte A Hulcoop

Caroline? Edna Louisa Hulcoop-daughter of Henry and Edna Hulcoop.

Edna Marion Sabin

Stanley Clifford Elkins

Oswald Tracy Hawthorne (Major) son of Robert John and Minnette Mary Hawthorne.

There is also a memorial plaque for a John Hawthorne.

There does not seem to be any family in Aberdare,and it would be such a shame to throw away all this stuff,so I am hoping someone recognises the names.

Do you think this post should go on the Enland board.

Bye for now.

I can't lay claim to any of the names mentioned............but with such interesting items, I'm more than prepared to adopt them.

Good luck with your search..........and please, don't throw anything away.

these documents do not belong to the friend then???

[Cas (stallc)]

See last post he also has Henry Hulcoop and Edna Hoar in his tree...so looks like there is a match...

He's a lucky person 

Hope he replies.

I agree Silvery...Imagine how exciting that would be to get a msg, stating there is a suitcase full of stuff that relates...a genealogists dream eh? 

If not perhaps he has her direct contacts....
