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

Does anyone have any information about either the postcard
and or the lacemakers listed.
A quick look at the 1901 census, particularly the North Crawley area of
Bucks,
I have a very orangy sepia reproduction of the same postcard. It
definitely is a modern reproduction as there's nothing on the back -
anything really meant for posting had the space for the address, space
for the message and 'postcard' printed on it.
I think it's Fanny Thickpenny and
