I've got quite a few cards in the collection that are posted, but I can't read the postmarks. Is there an way of finding the approx year from the type of stamp used. I've tried a google search but no luck.

If you're lucky, some patient soul may provide you with the dates of issues for halfpenny and penny stamps issued, say, between 1901 (Edward VII stamps) and the 1920s (George V), but there were several different designs of GVR stamps which would need to be described and/or illustrated. Your best bet is to visit your local library and consult a Stanley Gibbons GB specialist catalogue (not the simplified Stamps of the World editions), which will illustrate the various designs and indicate issue dates.
