Dating a Birthday Card please
« on: Monday 11 January 16 22:33 GMT (UK) »
I wasn't sure if this would be the right forum for cards but I couldn't find another more suitable.

I have two birthday cards from my deceased step-mums papers. I was hoping someone would be able to date them please as they were not in envelopes with the date on.

Also i notice the name on one is "Uncle Lodge" well that is how I read it. Has anyone else heard of this name before or know what it is short for. Could it be a surname?

Thank you Carol, there are a whole bunch of letters from the 1950's so that fits in with that.

Not common but there are several on Freebmd - 7 between 1902 and 1953. Where did the person who received the card live, you might be able to narrow it down?

The family tended to be around the Skipton, West Yorkshire (now North) area.

Could be 1940s. My mum's 21st birthday cards from 1946 are similar to these.
