A Happy Christmas and New Year to all my Blog readers.
Thank you for contributing to this engrossing new hobby I discovered this year.
The postcard above, sent in 1877, was in the family collection of a distant cousin. The verse reflects Victorian maudlin sentiment of the time, but it is still a lovely picture.
My great grandfather was James Danson of Poulton-le-Fyle, Lancashire. His eldest brother was John Danson and I made contact with John's great great granddaughter Janet through the Genes Reunited website. I am not too sure what relation that makes us, as I get rather mixed up between cousins four times removed and fourth cousins etc. I was delighted to discover a new relation and we exchanged family papers and memorabilia.
