Hi. If its marked Germany, it is pre first war, 1914. As during and after the war people would not buy anything with Germany on it, it would be marked 'foreign' Looking at the style I would say 1900-1910. Hope that helps a bit. Hilary.

Hi all, Anyone recognise the phrase 'I be alright, ow be you??' This is something my mum used to say, that she picked up from her mum! Is it a west country phrase. Might be a red-herring, but its certainly not a London thing.

Hi Debbie. She was definitely born in 1897, she died in 1930,aged 33, in Kensington, also Mabel Constance for certain, my aunt Joan, was Joan Constance after her mum. Thanks everyone for looking, its so interesting but blooming frustrating!! Hilary.

Mabel BUCK

Sorry, posted too soon.  A Constance Mabel BUCK born 7 May 1897 died in 1974 in the Barton district so don't think it is her but will keep looking.

I found another possible birth registration for June Quarter 1897 in Barton district, Lancashire.

Constance Mabel BUCK.  Checking the censuses (very briefly) she appears to have been the daughter of Simon and Annie BUCK and born in Swinton, Lancashire.  In 1901 she is listed as Constance M BUCK.  I find that quite often a middle initial means that the person is known by their middle name.  Haven't checked for any marriages or deaths to rule her out but will have another look now.
