No19 St. Mary’s School Photo – Can you Identify the Children, Teacher and Year Taken?

This is the 19th Batley St. Mary of the Angels school photo from a bundle I’ve been given. I am sharing them over the next few weeks, possibly months, in the hope people might recognise themselves or family members, and be able to help put names to faces.

The estimate is this was taken circa 1955/56. If anyone can help identify those on the photo, please let me know either by commenting via WordPress, or on the social media platform I’ll be sharing it to. For now I’ve numbered everyone on the photo to make that easier.

I will then update the details here.

  • Top Row – from left to right: 1, 2 Peter Bentley, 3 Malcolm Senior, 4 John Chadwick, 5 George Smithson, 6 Peter Ashton, 7 Peter Heaton
  • Middle Row – from left to right: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 Anthony Colleran, 13, 14, 15 Peter Wilde, 16 ? Jones
  • Bottom Row – from left to right: 17 Roger Smith, 18 Peter Grace, 19 Terry O’Donnell? 20 Terry Waterhouse, 21 Mr Deryk Brown, 22 Bernard/Barney Finneran? 23, 24, 25

If anyone has any corrections, can confirm the ones with question marks or can fill in the blanks, please do get in touch. 

And apologies if anyone has been misidentified – the names have been supplied in good faith.
