In my School Photo introduction post here, I said I would be posting a series of St. Mary of the Angels school photos over the coming weeks and months, in the hope people might be able to help put names to faces.
This is the first.

If anyone can help put names to faces, or the year it was taken, please let me know either by commenting via WordPress, or on the social media platform I’ll be sharing it to. Also if you have any details about the location too, that would be great e.g. was there a specific area in the old school this was taken.
I will then update the details here.
Thanks for all the help received to date. I’ve been amazed at the response. Within hours of posting, the names supplied are:
