#19 is my maternal 1st cousin! Sheila's mam was my Mam's eldest sister. But my Mam (Joyce Butcher) was just 2 years older than Sheila. Does anyone out there know my Mam? She was born at Fountain Yard, but may have lived on Northumberland Avenue. Sadly, she passed away on the 1st February, and it's true what they say, you regret asking the questions that you should have asked long before the day you never can again!

Ta.

Hilton Dawson posted a group of photos on the Cambois Facebook group with this comment :- 'My Mam, Sally Dawson (1924-2010) was Sally Renner when she had her first job in teaching at Cambois Primary School from 1946-1952.

Mam clearly loved it there, she forever described those years as her ‘best in teaching’ & would often talk very warmly about ‘Cambois’

The photo is the Doctor pit at Bedlington, not the 'A' pit at Bedlington Station

it is @James and I should have mentioned that when I first added the DMM site cover photo for the 'A' Pit - but I forgot.

There are seperate entries for the two in the Index for the DMM site but when you select either of the two pits it takes you to exactly the same page and the history for both pits is detailed.

If you scroll down to the section 'Gallery Images:' the DMM site does label the image as the Doctor Pit.This is the photo + info in the Gallery Images :- 

No 46 confirmed as Theresa Magpie on the Bygone BNedlington group - '?' removed :-

@loopylou -no updates todate other than the No 24 mentioned above.

Naturally if there are any more pupils named I will post an updated photo :-

@loopylou  posted the 1950's class photo on the Bygone Bedlington group. Uo to now just one update and that is from Patrick(Paddy) Melody's wife who says No 24 is not him it's his younger brother David.

I have tagged' Michael Third on the Bygone Bedlington group. I'll give it a couple of days before i add an update photo on this site. 

Carol Dodds & Carole Mulgrew have confirmed that No 9 is Mary Barker. Part of Carol's comment on the Bygone Bedlington group was :- ........she worked with us at wilkies xx........

I’ve also got another picture from 1920 to reupload (although its a question of if they can be named from that long ago 😆)

it is very rare we get names, other than the name of the relative of the member who posted it, for photo earlier than the 1940's but it won't do any harm to try on this group and the Bygone Bedlington Facebook group🤞
