Girls in White Dresses: A Postcard to Mrs. Stevens, Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, England, 1912
Whatever are these girls doing in this picture? They seem to be holding a garland of some sort.
Here's what we know:
The postcard photograph was mailed to Mrs. W. Stevens, Church Street, Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, England on March 27, 1912. The message is oddly lacking in punctuation. Dear A please to say I am much better sorry to hear will has another cold how did you get on at the tea george came home last ___ as he is on ____ time but did not stay long love to you both from us all mum xxxxxxxxx
top corner: don't you think they are good.
In the 1911 Census Summary Books on Ancestry I found a "Mrs. Stevens" living on Church Street, great Missenden. The index only shows that 1 male, and 2 females lived at that location.
Guesses, anyone?
I thought they may be holding the flower decorated rope for a May Pole Dance but the date doesnt fit
ReplyDeleteYes, I was wondering if it had connections with May celebrations as well. Maybe something for Easter?
