Hi David,

I know it's decades ago but can you recall what part of the year the 1940 Panorama photo was taken. Basically, was it the first half or second half?

The reason I am asking is because my father left school in 1940, so if the photo was taken at the beginning of 1940 my father should be on the photo. I haven't been able to identify him yet though.

Thanks

Hello Tom
I have let this go a couple of days in case anyone better informed than me responds. I remember you and Nigel as being prefects in my first year at KBGS. I remember Nigel well, being a Cross Roads lad, and the Earnshaws had a few branches of the family in the village. The last time I recall seeing him was when he returned home from University one holidays and came down to the park and kicked a ball around with us. THAT was a long time ago! Maybe 50-51? His cousin Keith was more my age and played cricket and football with us and Keith's dad was a stalwart of Cross Roads Cricket Club. I think the last time I saw Nigel's name mentioned might have been by yourself saying that the last time you saw him was in London many years ago. I do still have a few contacts in the village so I can make an enquiry there to see if any of the older ones know what happened to the Earnshaws. Cheers.

Hi Tom
My cousin tells me that the Earnshaws moved to Morecambe many years ago. I have googled Earnshaw/Morecambe in the BT telephone directory and there are three in that area. One is a K J Earnshaw. That just might be Keith who is a cousin of Nigel. Worth a try! Cheers

Thanks Bill! At 83 (in a few weeks anyway) I guess the chances of any others of my year being around are fairly slim. There is of course the incomparable Joe McDowell, a stalwart of the Reunions, who was a friend of the late Paul Greenwood at school. The only other one of my year am still in touch with is C.W. (Cedric) Phillips. You may remember him as well?
