Rosina was previously married to a George Watson in Cardiff Wales, but discovered that he was already married. She migrated to Australia, I believe around 1910, and my grandfather, George Watson was born in Sydney in 1911.

Once again, I have recycled an envelope, but this time, the inside.

I had made the background for this postcard sometime ago, and just couldn't get the right images/embellishments to finish it off.
Think that these have worked.
