PC to a Mrs? Hobbs - 11a and 11b

Do you have an old Postcard that you would like to reunite with its original family? Or maybe just let others know the information on one you own?
If so have a look in this section.

This is the house in East St Helens Street in 1911, not a real clue here this is 57, althoughn incorrectly indexed as 59.

MARSHALL, Elizabeth Head Widow F 67 1844 Boarding House Keeper Berkshire Longworth
MARSHALL, Alexander Leonard Son Single M 23 1888 Post Office Porting Clerk And Telegrst Berkshire Abingdon
TOLLEY, Edward Albert Sherwin Boarder Single M 19 1892 Post Office Porting Clerk And Telegrst Isle of Wight Brading
SIMS, Edith Fanny Boarder Single F 28 1883 Post Office Porting Clerk And Telegrst Brislington Somerset

Here is my take on the message,


Dear A
We are having a very good time at Mr ?ings The district is also very interesting. We saw John Newcastle & his wife this morning, ? close enough to years (?) with love from various initials.

From old family postcard, I have seen they often used just initials at this time and would often use a shortened form of speech, almost like today’s text speech.
Just because you're Paranoid, it doesn't mean to say they're not out to get you.
