I collect and offer for sale Victorian/Edwardian memorabilia and have come across a postcard relating to the Fossey family in Bedfordshire which may be of interest to you in your genealogy research.

The postcard belongs to Miss Lillie (Lillian Sarah) Fossey, born around 1890.

The postcard can be viewed  at http://www.theheritagemine.com/d.aspx/$item-details/Miss-Lillie-(Lillian-Sarah)-Fossey?itemID=261

I have researched the postcard and found the following connections which, I believe, may be associated with your ancestor.

The postcard was addressed to:

Miss  Lillie (Lillian Sarah) Fossey
Kensworth
Nr Dunstable
Bedfordshire
