Grandma's Birthday Book - 1901

 
             Inscribed on the front page - "Florence SCALES - January 21st 1901"  My grandmother received the 
             birthday book as a birthday present on her 14th birthday.

             Born in Baldock, Hertfordshire in 1887, she moved to Wisbech with her family as a toddler; her 
             younger sister, Daisy, was born in Wisbech in March 1889. 

             My grandmother worked as a seamstress at "Dawbarns" in Wisbech [where the present day Woolworth's
             store is now situated] until her marriage in 1912.
               
                             So all these names should have Wisbech connections!
