Post Cards and Passenger List


Here is a card from William Fox Pinhey to his grandson, Eric William Digby Stillwell.  The image of the card was sent to me by William Fox Pinhey's great-granddaughter Judith Millidge.

The card was sent February 23, 1916, eleven months prior to William and Fanny leaving Canada to return to England.

Here (below) we have an 1890 Penny Postcard sent by William to Fanny celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the introduction of the Uniform Penny Postage. This was Britain's first commemorative postal stationery.  William included an interesting initialized code above his signature.  Any guess as to what it means? (image of card by Judith Millidge).







Judith Millidge also provided me a copy of the passenger log for the Southland showing William, Fanny, and Robert's return trip to England on January 20, 1917 (thank you Judith!).
