Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 Afraid not - the surname rainbow does seem to ring a bell, probably from school days - 1950's -60's, but nothing positive coming back🙂. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister, Anne, was at the school, 1959 to 1962, before going to Barrington CP for three years. No 25 is Joy Rainbow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it - there was a Joy Rainbow at Barrington County primary when I was there. See photo in the album - Class 2 1955-56. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas Johnson Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 It must be great to have a large archive of family photos.. It is not only a memory but also a good help in case of finding relatives.. My mother burned most of the paper photo archive when she was depressed.. I still find it hard not to regret it..

Canny lass Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Hi Douglas, welcome to the forum! It's amazing the value that's placed on photos. Ask most people what they'd save first if the house went on fire and they'd say 'photos'. They can never be replaced. Have a look through the gallery photos here. You may find some relatives on school photos or mining photos. Most have some, or even all, names added. It's a fantastic resource for research.
