My own take on this.

Frederick George Willers born c1887/8

1st Marriage to Annie A (Agnes) Pepler sq 1913******** died dq 1923 aged 34**** Mumsie

Daughter Joan Annie Agnes Willers born jq 1914****** Dimples***marries 1934

Frederick remarries Jessie B McCullum

I found that 1st marriage and birth of daughter, but she would only be 3 when the card was written.  It looks to me as if the child who wrote it would be a bit older.

[softly softly]

LizzieL, they were my thoughts as well but I have written many a card on behalf of one of my sons when they were young to their mum with writing that tried to appear if it was a child writing it

Oh, I never thought that Mumsie might have forged it !

Looking at it more closely there is some similarity between the message and address. The "r" s look too adult. Maybe the child just did the line of "x"s. A three year old could do that

5 Turley/Willers births 1935-53

Oldest Turley child (male) married in 1968 and had two children
Second (female) married 1964, possibly children. There are a couple of other marriages around the same time with same surname combination
I think the third (female) married in 1967. Possibly children, but again there are other marriages with the same combination of surnames
Fourth (female) married in 1971. Possibly children, again there are other marriages with the same combination of surnames
Fifth (female) married 1972. I think there are two children

Potentially quite a lot of descendants of Dimples if we have the right child

The aim was to find a someone related to the writer/receiver of the card. It seems that some satisfaction is being gained by researchers here. Good for you (family history research is always interesting) When it comes to what we called our parents, mine were Mummy and Daddy until sometime it changed to Mother and Father (and sometimes, possibly for an effect, Alice and John) Could Mumsie be how 'she' referred to herself for the child's benefit?, just as much, to a certain extent, as calling the child Dimples. When I checked the S I T there  was Willer but no Willers.
