Its definately not Finn...the "e " and double '" nn " are quite clear in ther name...the capital letters seems to be a T...but if you squint at it sideways with your tongue out if could be an F or even an errant letter L...don't you love a good enigma?? !! ;D

The thing is, this could be a child of any age up to 12? Or even more. She may have been born anywhere, not necessarily Kent, and given we don't have her surname we are guessing wildly.

If its not Finn, I think Fenn is the most likely - more common than the others at least. But we don't have online voters' registers for Kent (unlike London) so I'm not sure how to proceed with this one.

Oh well done.

A*cestry is playing up at present, so I can't look for Miss AC Fenn who I should think may be in the 1911 somewhere - possibly 24 in 1934?

Interestingly, there's a Miss Alice Amelia Fenn, a lady's companion, at 24 Clifton Gardens, Folkestone, in the 1911.  But she's 54, single, born Alford Lincolnshire, living with widowed 73 year old Catherine Pigott.

Connected to the Fenn family of the card perhaps, or a coincidence?

However, in the 1911, the road Clifton Gardens seems to stop at number 30, before turning into The Leas, which is (from Google maps) the road which runs along the sea-front.
