hi nesta,yes i would like you to have a go at translating it,i will try to get my scanner to work this morning, if not i will try to write what is on the postcard.

Morning all,

just a few quick questions:

Are all the postcards from the same person?
What is that person's name?
What is the postmark - where have they been sent from?

I don't know where I got the idea from but I thought someone had mentioned the name Sue that they might have originated from my nan, Susannah - she was affectionately called Susie.

Thanks, Jill

hi,jaycey,the postcards are from elizabeth hannah richards to her mother,general chit chat,i dont know if you want me to write the one from sue to william on here or shall i message you with it,thats if others on here are not interested.
elizabeth hannah was at dovey bank ,Machyelleth? (sp)at the time

Hi Tac

I'd love to know what this Sue said to her brother William and where the postmark says it was sent from and the exact address it was sent to.  I don't mind how you send it (I'm sure the others won't mind you posting it here or you can send me a pm if you'd rather).

Thanks for taking the time.

Jill

Dear Brother,how are you getting on there,in the pink i suppose,shall come home monday night but shall come to town with the 25 to 9 in the morning.with fondest love,your old chum.sue
come to meet that train will(i think this a name) i shall go to gwen in the morning.

on the post mark all i can make out is ?d or o then meur??

[jaycey]

Wow!  Thanks for that Tac.

So far so good as far as I'm concerned.  Susannah had a sister called Gwen so the possibility of this being from my Nan is still there.

I'm surprised that the address doesn't give a house number or name but then I guess the postman must know everyone in the little village by name!

Thanks again - got to go out now will check for any other info later.
