I need a little help from any Nova Scotians in the group. My DH and I collect old postcards with a side interest in the postmarks on them. We have one we can't quite decipher - it appears to be ??scouse, N.S. from 1904. Any suggestions what town that might be? It doesn't look like there's room for more than 2 letters at the beginning.

Thanks from the wet West Coast! Glenda

Hi Glenda,

That rang a bell, so I did a bit of googling. There's a community on Isle Madame, Cape Breton, called D'Escousse, and I've seen it spelled with one "s." Here's a map of Isle Madame that shows D'Escousse.

Thanks Mama Lu .. that looks like it fits ..., especially with the spelling variation! We'll go with that until and unless proven otherwise.
