Another post card from Henry thanking Mrs Povey for a newspaper that she had sent. But who was Henry? A dig into the family history of my 3rd great grand father, Thomas Cooper seems to reveal the answer. Thomas married Mary Mould nee Dawes in 1850, Mary's second husband, her first husband was Matthew Mould. As Jane does not appear on the 1841 census among the Matthew and Mary Mould. Could her father, Thomas Cooper have married twice with both spouses named Mary? If this is the case then it would appear that Henry Mould was Jane Povey's half brother.

6th October 1904 was a Thursday. A rail accident happened at Tonteg Junction on the Barry Railway. The Board of Trade investigation report can be found here.
