Hi Pete, This looks to be Edwardian, the divided back postcard was introduced in the U.K. In 1902. The little boy looks to be about 4 years old. Have you looked at Hatt Family Trees on Ancestry? There may be photos on there. If you type in the surname and location, then go onto "Pictures" in the left hand menus you may get lucky.

There's an Andrew William HATT on the London, England, Electoral Registers for 1915 at 8 Caesar (it says 8 Haggerston road on the index but the image is Caesar.)

If he's the one I think he is-he married Martha COLLINS 1910 and died 1914 Shoreditch.

Thanks,Carol. :)

One of those times when I hope I'm wrong,though. Very sadly it looks like their only child.Andrew C(Charles) HATT born 1912 died in 1921. :'(

Martha re-marries in 1918 to Thomas William PARKER (image on Ancestry).

Perhaps you are in some way connected to the name COLLINS, Martha’s maiden name, as mentioned, or the name WYBROW which was the maiden name of her mother, Elizabeth.
There is information available on the family of Martha COLLINS if it turns out to be of relevance in your search.

Caesar Street seems to have been renamed as Nazrul Street since the 1970s, when my London atlas shows it running south from Cremer Street, between Kingsland Road and the railway line from Dalston Junction to Broad Street. Long Street is on the eastern side of that line.

I'm sure Maureen is on the right track, judging from the similarity of the handwriting on the postcard and the 1911 census form (6 Long Street, Shoreditch). But was the writer Mrs Hatt or her husband?  The capital M in those documents certainly resembles the one in Martha's 1910 signature (marriage register of St Paul's, Bethnal Green) although her Hatt in 1918 (marrying Thomas William Parker at St Jude's, Islington) is less convincing. Her mother (Elizabeth C. Collins, c.1847-1918?) may have written her own name in 1911; the C there is very different from those in the occupations column (Cutter ... + Cigar ...) which are much more like Martha's Collins in 1910.

So could the photo be as late as 1918, when Andrew C. Hatt was 5 years old while Martha was in mourning for her mother, or was it endorsed by Andrew W. Hatt (1882-1914)?
