lysander Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Could one of them be a Leslie Ord who, upon arriving as a "***" at Firth Park Grammar School, told his classmates he was from Philadelphia... What a shock when he explained he wasn't a "Yank" but from a part of Sheffield none of us had ever heard of! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Dale Bottom Row, left to right ? Brian Purcival Any advance on that anyone? Hi UKL, You're right. I was thinking that the young lad, third from right, bottom row was one of the twins who lived on Woollen Street. If it is that family, who I think were called Smith, then that guy will be the older brother, Raymond?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukelele lady Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Wow you've got a good memory binstead but I was relying on you to fill in the names. Middle row is definitely Ann Smith , yes you can go to the top of the class [ again] I realise now with the question mark that you had a name missing, thought you were questioning if it was Anne Smith. The missing name is John Sheldon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
