Can someone please identify the missing name?
My better half is next to the teacher on the right.
He says she was probably holding him so he didn't run away!
Is Margaret Latham there? Enid Croft?
Oops! I should have said that John was next to the teacher on the LEFT. The boy next to Miss Hill was Billy Pye who was sadly killed in a motorbike accident at Middlesborough in 1960, aged 17.
hi, kenny, i think the girl on the end is marjorie hankey, good photo,have you got any more!!!!
I was at St James from 1954 and remember a few of these surnames.We lived next door but one to Bullocks.Terry Broxton Bill Thorpe Alan Brownlow David Dawber Mgt Wiseman Susan Hulse Anne Lucas Philip Sudworth Gwen Bolton Joseph ? from Grange Ave Gore bros from Grange Ave Sandra Cumberbatch. My mum and dad were Hilda and Harry and my sisters Susan and Anita(11 years younger than me)
Anne, you put a question mark after Joseph from Grange Ave . His name is Harrison and I still see him occasionally. Happy days eh
Just seen your comment Sue. I remembered his name afterwards.They were happy days.Did he have twins?
Hope your mum is ok.
i was there from 1954 onward but dont remember you anne
I don't remember you Micky either but do you remember any of the names I mentioned in my last posting on this pic?
Hello Anne Rose( crowther ) just browsing all these photo's and stories of St.James, at that time you were there do you remember Anne Winstanley? and myself Alan Winstanley? we went there I was school football captain with Mr.Leigh my master and sports master he actually bought me my first pair of boots we could not quite afford them ,he was for me the MOST PERFECT GENTLEMAN AND PERSON, when I attended his funeral the Wigan parish church was bursting at the seams which truly showed his prowess as a human being I will never forget him. Our Anne went there from the bottom school thro to the last class I'm sure you know her, also was you a nurse at the carpet factory at taylors factory?
Hello Alan, I can't say I remember your name just the ones in my earlier post--- sorry. I agree with all you say about Mr Leigh . Many kids were better for having him as an example . My mum Hilda was the factory nurse at Taylor's . Did you work there? I wish I had a photo of her when she worked there .
Hi Anne
well I do remember you, prettiest girl in the class along with Susan Hulse and Ann Lucas,Other names that I recall
David Eastham, Malcolm Hull, Marlene Burgess Sylvia Porter John Finch, I also can picture Mr Leigh in his pin stripe suit,Hope your well not seen you since we were eleven.
