Dear Sue,
I can understand very well the problem!
I have the same problem with Elisa Ricci collection and many other
collections.
But we all speak and we all are so interested in lace. Hope that if we can
speak we can find.
A little help (if we find Mr. Pollen then we can find Mrs Pollen): I use
this wonderful web-site:
http://www.biblio.tu-bs.de/acwww25u/wbi_en
Open and, on the left, in the first line you write (the comma is important!)
Pollen,
next page, and you find:
pollen, john hungerford / designer/630 decorator/170 writer/561
mark the entry then show marked entry

In a web-site of a bookseller I read that the name of Mrs. Pollen was Maria
Margaret and with an other search on www.biblio.tu ecc. ecc (Pollen, Maria) I
found:
Name: La Primaudaye, Maria Margaret
aft. Pollen
Dates: -
mentioned: 1900
References: Pollen, Maria Margaret
Occupations: writer on lace/575

Two years ago when I began to search about Elisa Ricci, I knew the web-site
but I had a similar reply:
Name: Ricci, Elisa
Dates: -
mentioned: 1908-1936
Occupations: pubblicista/585; scrittrice/561
Archive: Archivio Biografico Italiano
Fiche: II 503,294; II S 71,6
Is it a sign? One of us must begin to study about Mrs. Pollen!
Lifes with lace.
Bianca
