Jill Watkins is the girl with white bows. The girl the other side of me is Stella but I can't recall her surname and the next two are a mystery. I'll have to put my thinking cap on.

Thanks for that Mary, you are not alone at failing to put a name on the face! You will either never remember it or it will pop up one day without you making any concious effort - - ah Anno domini and the grey matter!

Any way if you don't mind trying this one from Miss Williams' class 5 - who are the two girls left of Frances Jenkins, and the girl above in the centre between and Maralyn Phillips and Gwyneth Evans? We know who all the others are but nobody on the forum has come up with suggestions on these

Hi. The girl on the far left is Jill Watkins but I can't put a name to the one next to her. I've just recognised Lynne Aubrey and Gaynor Jones. Gaynor's mother was a midwife - lived in, I think, No.10 North Road??

"Mason" seems to ring a bell.

[JohnPitt]

H'm I've no idea but she was in your previous class.




Certainly a possible.

That leaves the girl in front of her still without a name.

Reading Brian's post re photo no 9 "On the back row, 3rd from right is someone called ??Addie - I think". The name Ian Addie comes to mind???

There was a guy on the old Wales Forum, used to work in the mining museum in Trehaford, I think he was Gary Mason, anyway he pointed out loads of Masons on the old photos. A shame my old computer crashed when it did as I lost loads of stuff(E-mails) like that. I can't remember his name either.

[RogerWood]

I will search my database. i.e. attach my old disk drives.

Ian Addie is also familiar to me. There were a family of Mason's living in Commercial Street, one of the youngest being called Ashley but somewhere in the back of my mind he also used the name Robert after school days. For some unknown reason, I'm also thinking there may have been Mason's living in George Street, maybe wrong of course!

There's a Matthew Mason in several places on you Talktalk gallery.

However, the Mair Mason in 5M does look VERY different!
