This #PostboxSaturday pic is located close to the Merchant Taylors Almshouses in Lewisham. The date over the door is 1855 but I have no idea if this postbox was in use then! #FamilyHistory

Thanks, Penny. I really enjoyed researching this one.
It was really really good. I have always been enthralled by this family and their tragic story. I was in St Petersburg many years ago and saw their graves in the chapel. Thank you for sharing all your hard work!

Margaret Jean Gee never let barriers stop her from achieving what she wanted.
Inspired by the injustices she saw against Chinese-Canadians in Vancouver's Chinatown growing up, she pursued a career in law and spent her life helping others.
This is her story.
