the recipient

Annie Elizabeth Kenrick (1855-1934) was the daughter of Edward Kenrick (1821-?) and Mary Brown (1819-1885). Edward was a book keeper. Annie never married. At the time that this card was sent she was living with her brother Edward Maurice Kenrick (1858-1931) and his wife Amy Gertrude Meek (1867-1957) and their three children. Edward Maurice was an accountant at a bank. In 1911, Annie had private means. In 1901, still at the same address, Annie and Edward's sister Edith Harriet (1862-1926) was also living in the house. Annie doesn't seem to have had a job at any stage.

Fairfield, Liverpool

what the card says to us

By far the most interesting thing about this postcard is the picture. American Girl No 104 by Pearle Fiddler LeMunyan. Whoever she was she seems to have painted a lot of girls for a lot of postcards. The message on the card is hard to read because on the one hand the writer has terrible handwriting and on the other because the left hand side as you look at the picture has been trimmed slightly, presumably to fit the card with its attractive picture into an album.

As well as the message, the postmark is also difficult to read. It may well be Liverpool, but there isn't enough to be certain.
