Robert Madge was a Weston postman from 1900 and was head postman in 1939. His father Robert senior was also involved in the postal service in Weston. Does anybody have a picture of Robert jnr?

You might try the North Somerset Library in Weston - there is an extensive photographic collection there which may include some concerning the postal service.

There is also a possibility that when he retired or died there might have been an article accompanied with a photograph in one of the local newspapers which are available on film in Weston Library. You would need the date of these events to make the search easier. I can see from our Cemetery CD that he died 28April 1951 and was buried in the Milton Road Cemetery.

Many thanks for that information Pat. I now find that his younger brother Ernest was also a postman in the town - a family concern!
