"This postcard is of:

-  Christina Fraser.
She had a tobacconist shop on Bath Street.

-  Catherine (Kate) Fraser Carbray (my g.g.aunt).
She was listed in the census as a hotel keeper.  She owned the Comfort Tea Rooms at 56 Bath Street.

Are there any photos of the block in Bath Street including No. 56, where the shop fronts are visible?

Both Christina and Catherine were born in Canada and both died in Portobello.  This photo was taken in Portobello, but there is no date or photographer's ID on this postcard."

Requests

Katherine added:

"I'd like to hear from family members, as we are basically a lost branch of Frasers who remained in Canada when the rest returned home to Scotland."
