Looking for info on the above, living at, I think -

152 St Martins Road,
Foldsland,
Street,
England

Address given on back of postcard sent May 1939, from Dumfries, Scotland.

Thanks,

No results for St Martins Road, Street on address search for 1939 Register - or on ANY census

And no results anywhere on the internet for Foldsland

Have you done any research yourself?

Yes, I have tried looking myself !

Writing is very difficult to read, though.....

The variants I have come up with are -

Definately 'St;' and 'Road',
then either - Martins, Martuns, Masturn, or Wastun, or possibly Wartuns in the middle.

Then either Foldsland OR Folksland - neither coming up on Google !

Kent or Street, England


So very confusing...

:-0 :-0

The couples surname could either be Allen or Allens

The more I look at the address, the more it looks like Kent.

Is it possible for you to take a photo and share it via the 'Keepsake' tag at the top of the page, please?

How do I do this, Gwyn as I have neve used this....

EDIT -

I have uploaded a photo of address on postcard into Keepsafe

Any of these perhaps??

Thank you Jink20 !

The 1939 Folkstone entry you found, looks very promising.

You mention Florence Alen was married - was her husband living there at the time of the register?

Elham is the registration district and covers quite a wide area including Folkestone and surrounding villages
