I have recently seen a postcard of a group of 18 well dressed ladies on one side, with the other side reading HAUGHMOND HILL Easter Monday April 20th 1908 signed E.G.Chambers, it is addressed to E.G.Chambers The Terrace Meole Brace Shrewsbury.

Can anyone shed any light on who E.G.Chambers is and if someone else has this postcard do they know who these ladies are?

There is an entry for a family named Chambers at this address on the 1901 census. They have a daughter, Elizabeth G. aged 14, parents Joseph, a mercer's clerk, mother Martha.

Hello Sandra

The family were still living at The Terrace, Meole Brace in 1911.

Elizabeth Gertrude CHAMBERS was still single then.
