Dear Lace Historians, Lacefairy is not on Arachne. Periodically, I forward correspondence to her that may be of interest in connection with her comprehensive website and her expertise in genealogy research. So, I'm coming out of lurkdom, at her request, to send Arachne the following genealogy research Lacefairy has done in connection with the original question from Nicky in Suffolk. This research took a bit of time, and it seemed yesterday and today that there were more than the original inquirer who might make use of it.
Perhaps someone will share a picture of the Bucks postcard and also the Beds postcard (mentioned in a different memo) with Lori. That way, all who are interested could see them on Lacefairy, the website where so many learn so much about lace and lace history.
