These men were Palmer's electricians in 1950. Are they in order or not?
Before its too late I'd like them in the correct order.

E looks like Jimmy Miburn Norman,he was l think the eldest of the Milburn family which lived very close to you back Lyon st near Winnie Gallaghers paper shop in the 1950s his brother Colin was in my form at Clegwell 1950-55 great football family.
Ps Jimmy was a member of the Power house club,in the 1950s l am pretty sure Lillian would confirm what l have said as she and my sister Margaret the club in the 50s.?

Hi Tom,
GUESS WHAT?
I thought he looked like Jimmy Milburn aswell, but that surname is not on the list of names I was given many years ago.
I was friends with Tommy Milburn. Their dad drove the Northern Double Decker Buses, so when we saw a bus coming along Argyle St we'd watch to see if it was Mr Milburn driving & if it was he always waved to us.

Hi Tom.
The photo was put on Face Book with my permission and person called Brady thinks that 'E' is their father. There is a Brady on photo so it must be him, not Jimmy Milburn.

Hi Tom,
If 'E' really is Mr Brady, then we are still 1 name short. If 'E' had been Jimmy Milburn we'd have had all the names.
