I bow to their superior memory! However, KW must have jumped a class (he was quite brainy) as we were in class 6 together and we both sat the 11+, he went on to the grammar school. Also, the girl at 32 is one of my cousins and she was a year older than I.

Yes sorry No 17. It was Muriel who gave me this and Kingsley, she lived above the shop at the Oval before moving to Waverley Ave, next door to John Hedley who lived just across from me. Unfortunately Kingsley had a rough time after this period his father took to the bottle and may have even taken his own life!!! Think he had ginger hair, but again memory not that good. Myself I lived at 3 Rosland Park. Cannot remember your brother, unfortunately. It's a small world!

More names into the melting pot. No 7 Billy Richardson, not Tom. No 13 John Thomas. No 15 definitely Ann Lawson note no e. No16 Margaret Clouds. No 23 Patsy Marshall, not Pat. No 26 Jean Morris a definite. No 43 John Little, possible, not Jefferson? No 37 I should have remembered as her mother was a very good friend of mine, moved to Grange Park. No 11 Kingsley Wake his father owned a butchers shop at the Oval shops. Very good footballer scored 9 goals in one match I seem to remember. That should be the lot. Dragged up a few memories thinking of those.

Girl at number 16 is Anne Hunter.

No definitely Jean Morris lived at Shop Row. Had a older sister who was a fantastic redhead (remember my age easy impressed), but she may not have been at school that day. I am sending these details to Muriel Wilson nee Williams she may be able to help.

I am still unsure between numbers 15 & 36. Ann had very blond hair possible the fairest hair I can remember . Also there was a girl called Jean Morris who lived in the pit row by the railway at the station pit. Just cannot pull her face from memory!

Sorry the girl at number 36 is Ann Lawson.

Girl at number 25 is my sister Joyce Turnbull

Girl standing 5 from left is called Muriel Williams not Wilson which is her married name.

Front row sitting at left Tony Turnbull. Girls standing 5 from left Muriel Wilson. Girls sitting second from right Ann Laws on.
