Autograph request
Postcard sent by Bray to Reverend Edward Collett on 18th June 1910 asking for his autograph
Edward Collett was born at St Petersburg on 13.04.1847, and it was there also, at the British
Chaplaincy, that he was baptised on 15.05.1847, the son of John Homes (Holmes) Collett and Sophia
Eleanor Wilson.
Shortly after he took up his post as the Vicar of Bowerchalke, he became very interested in the village
newspaper which he eventually took over and managed; writing the articles, using his own press to
print the newssheet, and distributing the copies. This he did for the next forty-two years, until his
failing health brought it to a close.
