As usual I'd like some names for this Reyrolle's Awards photo before it is too late.I've sliced it into three pieces to enable closer views.
Can anyone see a family member ?

Was Mrs Chadwick a teacher at St Aloysius. Was her daughter also a teacher or was it Mrs Chadwick mother. I just seem to remember a mother and daughter.

Norman,I thought Jo Donnelly married Ruth Cane/Kane. Her brother, I think was Dennis and married Helen McMullen, who I worked with in Reyrolles . Unless I’m getting mixed up, as it’s possible at my great age. Miss Chadwick I thought married the lovely man called Tommy McNabola, as children, we called the school board man. He really was a nice, but my Mum used to say, if you don’t go to school the school board man will tell you off. I often told Tommy the tale in later years,he was shocked but used to laugh.

Ruth Kane

Hi Sheila,
Your memory is correct. As you saay Joe Donnelly married Ruth Kane.

Re: Ruth Kane

Norman, as you might see further down the post, I got a lot wrong. I certainly got Mr McNabolar’s wife wrong. I know, both were teachers I think but the wrong names. 🙄

The guy in the picture looks like the Mr Young who lived in North Farm Road. I remember a daughter and a younger son. The name Marjorie comes to mind but probably not correct.

Of course Jim. It’s a long time ago. I’m thinking was Mrs Chadwick nee Miss English and her mother was also a teacher, probably still wrong.

Norah Chadwick's maiden name was English Sheila so you are right again.

Norman after getting Tommy McNabola wife wrong,I did think it might be Miss McKinney, but probably wrong. I can picture these people but not always the name. As soon as Jim said Mrs Chadwick’s daughter was Claire, I remembered her, she had blonde hair.
