On Eb*y......one day left are 38 love letters/postcards between these two during WW1. Cheap at £17.50.

Found them both on 1911 and lived at 7 & 9 Parkhurst Road Manor Park Essex.
Seems they were childhood sweethearts, they did marry after the war.

Does anyone recognise them ?

Me and Dizzi have found them.

Does anyone have any information about current whereabouts of these letters or any more details about them?

Kate was my grandfather’s first cousin.

Mr Magoo won't know where they are.

They were sold on eBay in 2013 - per Mr M's opening post.
Mr M wasn't selling them - he just noticed them on eBay.

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.
