In this photo which must have been taken in 1949 (ot maybe 1950), I am 4th from left in the middle row and next to me, 3rd left, I think is Edna Capper. Vince Ryding is 2nd left. The photo was taken in the infants playground.

If anyone can help with names, please email.

I am 1st left on the front row next to Brian Hagan and at the other end,first right is Anne Baldwin next to Rita Williams. It is Edna Capper next to Jack and on his other side is Margaret Toman. I think that Gerry Dunne is next to Vince Ryding and 2nd right on the same row is ? Dawber. Ist right on the back row is possibly Lucy Crompton, next to Mrs Byrne or Burns.

Reminds me of the old school days when everyone was told to fold their arms.

My Mum is the third person in from the right on the middle row, Maureen Pearson. The person directly behind my Mum is Anne Cooke. Second person on the left on the top row is Wilfed Brady the person next to Wilfred my Mum thinks is Maureen Cusick. My Mum also thinks the first person on the left of the middle row is Roy Rodgers.

My Dad went to St Williams
His name was Albert Curran. But I can't see him on this photo. He was born in 1940

Kathleen, did you live in Greenfield Ave and have two brothers, Terry and George??

I think that Kathleen Byrne would have been in the junior school when this photograph was taken as it is definitely Margaret Toman on one side of Jack and Edna Capper on the other. I was born in 1942 and presumably we are all of a similar age, making us younger than Kathleen Byrne.
