Harry and Mary Thomas (nee James) collated these postcards while they were living at 'Clover Hill' farm from 1894-1921.

More children were born when the family moved to 'St Ives' farm at Dunmore - Warwick 1912, Victor 1914, Noel 1916.

Among them, Gladys Grey, Aunty Harriet, Aunty Edith and Marie, Miriam, Martha, Aunty Marie, Aunty Lottie, Alison Thomas, Olga and Clive Goodwin, Malcolm Henderson, and Florrie.
