Hi Spiders
I've recently acquired a postcard depicting 20 Bucks lace workers, members
of the Bucks lace Industry, Olney. It states that their combined age is 1600
years the average age is given as 80. The postcard is not postally dated so
I don't know how old it is, nor is the printers name given. However, there
are 20 elderly ladies and underneath they have signed their names/or made
their mark beside their name. They are -: Eliza Harper 84; Isabella Dowdy
77; Ellen Clare 84; Emma Richardson 81; Mercy Sanders 84; Elizabeth Kingston
80; Harriet Cooper 73; Sarah Ann Warren 72; Fanny ------penny 81; Mary
Percival 77; Martha Hinde 74; Sarah Hedge 87; Elizabeth -----cester 83; Jane
Brice 72; Helen Haynes 87; Charity Harper 85; J. Ellis 82; Sarah -Maslars?
72; Tamar Linger ? 87 E. Salisum?
One or two of the names are quite hard to read/decipher (the dashes are a
random number). Does anyone have any information about either the postcard
and or the lacemakers listed.
Many thanks
Nicky in Suffolk
