Morecombe and the Mysterious Mrs. Boddy

In amongst the family postcards, there are the occasional missives directed to a completely unfamiliar name, and this is one of them.  One can only hope that somehow, Fate will steer the decendents of Mrs. Boddy (of 7 Frederick St., Dalton Lane, Keighley) or her children William and Harriet here, to read what their ancestors wrote and posted August 15, 1911:




"42  Yorkshire St. Morecombe.
Dear Mother & Sister & Brothers, We hope you are very well. we wish you were here. it would do you a lot of good. we are having lovely weather. and it is beautiful here. From your loving Son & daughter William & Harriet"

Apparently William wasn't into capitalization



The front of the postcard... far less interesting to me in this case.
