Hi! This might sound a bit funny, but I bought a huge wooden box of old art postcards from a charity shop last weekend, and - out of curiosity - I've been tracing the  original owner, Cora Elizabeth Grice (nee Evans) married to a Leon & mother to Cynthia & Leonora. The collection includes cards sent by both daughters and a granddaughter - Anna. The box may have been given away intentionally, but I'd love to hear from you if you're interested in it - and I'd love to know how the box ended up in Penarth (South Wales, nr Cardiff).

All the best and I hope that you see this one day!

We have Cottrells from Staffs,

My partners mother's mother is Leonora Cottrell (nee Grice) and she married Frank Bryan Cottrell, who was born in Bourneville 05 March 1926. I think we have generations further back than that, but they're on my home PC and I'm at work! Will post them later.
