Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) 1,161 Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share HPW & Vic(Doreen) - one name that is not mentioned is Thomas (Tucker) Holmes. His daughter, Christine Holmes, has been attempting to find an old school photo of him and she did post on this site asking about him. HPW replied saying that he and Tommy had gone to the same schools throughout their school life. Is Tommy in this photo? Link to comment

Working on it Vic, but no response yet. Unfortunately most people these days take photos of photos to upload and the resulting image not always in focus. I still have an old Desktop PC with scanner (D11" x H7" x W17") connected. No doubt when I go it will go with me. Link to comment
Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) 1,161 Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Vic - unfortunately - a photo of the original photo is what has been uploaded. I have added it here, without any numbers & names so you can get a 'clean' copy if you want one. If you want me to add the numbers & names to this one just say so and I will do it. Link to comment
Vic Patterson 371 Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Thank you Eggy, this will do for me, I'll play around with it for now, I've had some success cleaning up old family photo's, like you my desktop is collecting dust, it stopped connecting to the internet but I'm reluctant to get rid of it as it is my back up for pictures and music, it has my photoshop type programs on it etc but one day...

Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) 1,161 Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Now for the throwing the spanner in the works bit Vic! Jim Hardy has now posted his list of names that he has sellotaped on the back of the original photo. Naturally jumping back a mere 66 years there are bound to be mix ups with some of the names and there are a few differences to what HPW and your good wife recalled. It's times like these when technology can be thrown out the window. We need a large table, print outs and all people concerned debating, and naturally some alcohol to fuel the debate. I have update the names and will add the revised edition + Jim's photo of the names to this comment. When Jim posted this photo he part of his comment was - 'Whitley Memorial junior 1950'. When I replied and said thank you for posting the original I added, diplomatically, - 'this is the Village School, isn't it?' He replied with the a one line comment - 'Whitley memorial junior 1950'. So even tho it says on the board within the photo 'BEDLINGTON VILLAGE INFANTS 1950 CLASS 2' Jim says different. I'm sticking with HPW and you. I'm still using my Desktop PC Vic, it's the only bit of hardware I have. Mine was purchased a mere 8 years ago, and the 19" screen + large keyboard is wonderful. Just got to hope they see me out! Now the pics - updates to Nos 9,10,11,12,16,19,21,24,25,27,41 & 42 - some just spelling, others a different name :- Link to comment
John Fox (foxy) 319 Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Sandra Short is my cousin and thats not her at number 39, so it's either someone is wrong with the name or there are two SSs which i would doubt. Link to comment
Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) 1,161 Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share No 39 - Sandra Short removed. No 9 - the photo was posted on the Facebook group site, Bygone Bedlington, and a member - Robert 'Marlene' Bell confirmed it was him. Link to comment
Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) 1,161 Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Vic - HPW - could Tommy (Tucker) Holmes be No 13 or 40? Link to comment
Vic Patterson 371 Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Hello Eggy, Sorry Doreen cannot confirm Tommy Holmes but she does remember the name, and is certain she is #22 and not #19... Link to comment
Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) 1,161 Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) Report Share Photo updated Vic, sorry about that, I must have confused one of the comments when the photo was in the History Hollow topic. No 19 I have as 'Brenda Muckle ?' BUT I have also seen the name 'Brenda Wright' for No 19. Edited November 18, 2016 by Eggy1948 Link to comment
