I have come across a number of old receipts and correspondence from confectioners such as Cadbury and Fry's and someone by the name of Mr Garnett of 164 Poulton Rd, Wallasey all dated between 1917 and 1919.It would appear that Mr Garnett was himself a confectioner. If you are interested in local History and would like these items please contact me and arrange to collect them. First to ask can have them.

A very kind offer and I hope someone with an interest in Wallasey History takes them off you. The 1911 census for 164 Poulton Rd has head of the household, James Walter Garnett, Station Master, it's his 28 year old daughter, Margaret Eleanor Garnett who is recorded as confectioner.

Pity, we'll never know. What was the flavour of the page, letter to sweetheart or sister perhaps?
James Oswald Garnett (son) born 1883, worked for the London & North Western railways, served in the Royal Engineers, WW1, sub unit, Railways. Thankfully he survived the war and died 1949.

amaterasu,
I think the letter is off a Canadian soldier, with mentioning getting sent back home. The Canadian Military Hospital, Orpington, was in Kent, England.

Picked these up today and have scanned them, about 67 images. Spoke to the archives today who sounded really enthusiastic to have them so will be taking them there either Thursday morning or Friday. Some interesting bits and pieces, mentions of WW1 rationing and receipts from quite a few companies. Thanks to amaterasu for passing these on and not just chucking them
