A few months before this postcard was sent in 1911, Margaret Knight lived with her widowed mother and her unmarried brother, Richard.
The siblings had at least one other brother and sister, and a brother was bricklayer. Their father, George, died in 1887. When he married Mary Pratt in 1849, his occupation is also given as bricklayer.
Richard, who was also at the address on the card in 1911, was a coachman. In 1881, he worked as a groom.
With more research I know I would be able to discover who sent the card. However, for the moment I think it's lovely to read about the sender taking photos. Now we never give it a thought, but in 1911 it was still something that many people could not practice.
