This postcard is passed by the censor, sent from Salonica on 1st October 1918 to a Miss Palin at Tythe Barn Farm on Pepper Street Mobberley. There is no message although there appears to be a pencilled name which may be Gibson at the bottom left. In 1911 the Stockton family were farming at Tythe Barn Farm but in the Kelly's Directory of 1914 a James Palin, Farmer is listed at that address. Presumably Miss Palin was his daughter. There is a James Palin born in Ashley who may have relocated after the 1911 census with his family.
