I recently won some old postcards (picture and photographic) on Ebay so that I could share them with fellow GR members as a thank you for all the help and support I’ve received (both with my research and personally). Please browse through them, and if you recognise any of the people or places, send me a PM for more information, and I will let you have the postcard/s. I am giving these cards away as a friendly gesture, NOT selling them. All I ask is for a stamped, addressed envelope in which to send your card/s to you. Some of them have writing on the reverse, or the name of a photographic studio on them. I will detail this beneath the photograph. If there is nothing at all with which to identify the picture, I will put my guess as to the content in brackets. The site is http://groups.msn(.)com/MandysOldPostcards Mandy :)

What a lovely jesture - i just LOVE the one of the 3 elderly gents on the step - I do hope someone recognises it- otherwise can i adopt them? lol Jess x I'm still going thru them ...those evacuees!!

Christine, I don't think so - don't recognise the name, but have a look (you will know what you're looking for better than I would lol!). Jess - you can have whatever you like! Mandy :)

Awwww Mandy they are great so nice of you ~ i did have a chuckle at the one titled ~Two Men, Eastbourne~ am sure there is an uncanny likeness to him from little britain well done Mandy Love Jan xx

i would truly LOVE those two, but rightfully they should go to people that recognise them if no-one does , I really would love them. many many thanks Jess x

They are wonderful Mandy, so sad all those family photos without a home, but lovely of you to 'adopt' them. i wish some of them belonged to me! Ann Glos

Jan, PMSL! Jess, I will hang on to those two and if nobody has a better claim than you in the next few days, they will be yours. Mandy :) PS: Ann, I've even bought a cheap album to keep them in, I just couldn't resist them!

Ok all check out small groups and the two men eastbourne ~ Mandy they are are all fantastic to look at xx

nudge , because they are so lovely

I hope someone claims the little girl wih the spade----she is sooo sweet! Lovely pictures! Hope you find loving homes for them. C x

Mandy, you're going to make someone really happy with this offer :-)) The brother and sister one (Bristol?) - the man looks so familiar I'm sure hubby has one of him - will have to have a look at the old ones (wherever I've put them - could be under the spare bed). Trouble is, if it's the one I'm thinking of we haven't a clue who it is LOL.

Mandy, Thanks for you email. The postcards are fabulous. I've thoroughly enjoyed looking at them all. I think the 3 men on the steps was wonderful, but if nobody else would like the one of Lincoln Cathedral, then please can I ........... Alan's grandad was born in Lincoln and I'm sure that his mum would love to add it to her family history folders. I hope that some do get back to the subjects of the photographs. As I said to you earlier, I have my grandmothers postcard album and it is such a shame that the pictures of individulals haven't been named. I have a treasure trove but no living rellies who could say who they are. Speak soon Love Anne xx

They are great Mandy !!! Two men Eastbourne ?? Where is that one, I have rellies from Eastbourne !!! :0)) Joan xxxx

How nice of you Mandy.Lovely postcards,beautiful colours. Like the Newcastle one and Alnwick Castle looks much the same today. Sorry but can't see any with Eastbourne on. Mau xx

Hi Joan It's in the 'small groups' album, middle of the second row. Two men, taken in a studio in Eastbourne. Hi Mau You're welcome to those if you'd like them. Hi Trish! Wouldn't that be funny if hubby had same person in a pic? Do let me know when you find it. Mandy :)

Will do Mandy, won't be able to do it until Tuesday or Wednesday though - don't think there's any names on it but will double check.

I dont know what i am doing wrong but i just have never been able to access any photos on this msn. Annie

I found them Mandy !! Sadly not mine, lol !! The one where you have put 2 men, one in uniform, one in civvies, I think the one in civvies is actually wearing a hospital uniform, which soldiers wore when injured & went to a hospital. The uniform was a grey colour, the lapels were white & the tie was bright red, cos I have photos of my granddad wearing one just like it. :0)) Joan xxxxx

Oh Mandy, I do hope that someone recognises someone on the photos. Please let us know if it happens.
