Deciphering Writing on Back of Postcard Photo
« on: Sunday 19 November 17 09:00 GMT (UK) »
I have just been given a bunch of old old family photos and I came across one that I couldnt decipher. I will post the front and back. I can only make out the first line which says Mrs J Barry

Thanks everyone for your help

So was this being sent to Mrs J Barry or did she sent it to someone in my family and just wrote her name on it????

KL, it was sent to Mrs J BARRY [ James BARRY..who was a Tailor ]
Need now to find who it was that Mr James Barry married..
Do you have any Ann's in the family around that time that you don't know who she married?

cheers
