Thanks, Derek, but I too still have that photograph! But, didn't you, at one time, also have an interest in JM? Come on, now, confess!

Never mind the girls. Check out some of the villains in short pants. There were a fair few of those (my senior) I kept the right side of.

Coincidentally, we had relatives on the Marston side who had emigrated to Canada in the depression and for a few years sent us a box of apples around Christmas in the '40s.

Like Eric Redman, Colin Murray and Walter Nixon, for example, Terry? So did I...

Did you miss or omit Derek Newiss, Doug? - or were you demonstrating the better part of valour?

Well, as you know, Terry, he's still very much around, so discretion, yes...

Re the Ancestry business. Don't know why I didn't think of this before, I have the Complete Census Discs for Yorkshire for the years 1841--1851--1861--1871--and 1891. The 1881 is available on line courtesy the Latter day Saints .
Now ,within reason, I will look up any info for any one who can supply a few details like approx dates and addresses . Might be useful to some one .

The link referred to by Mike is http://www.familysearch.org
This is a free site. I also repeat my willingness to look up anything on Ancestry.Com, whether a census, birth/marriage/death, parish record , military record(WW1, Boer War), criminalrecord etc etc

I started very early - I recall having a crush on a female teacher at Ingrow Junior School. The only thing I can remember is that she had what appeared to be a vaccination scar on one arm. This must have been in the early 50's.
I was also very fond of 2 other girls at Junior School - Diane Hardisty and Shirley Cavanagh (spelling?). I was pretty cool even then, I remember buying them a bag of sweets each from the shop at the bottom of Lawnswood Road as they walked home past my house.
In reality, my first 'adult' crush was Margaret Coppen who lived in Carlby Grove,
and it was wonderful to catch up with her and her husband at the end of 2000 when we had dinner at the home of a mutual friend..

To Brian and Doug. Regarding Rita; I am informed that Rita is no longer 'with' Ken Narey, a union which ended some years ago. She lives in a the small village of Laz in Brittany, with another member of the Myers family, Barrie's youngest brother, Christopher!! I learned this information from yet another of the Myers' family, a brother named Malcolm. The world gets smaller still!

For Trevor, Diane S Hardisty, b Keighley Sept 1945, married Tom Copperwaite 1965
Shirley Kavanagh (with a K) born Keighley March 1945, married Michael Shaw 1969.
Margaret Coppen b Keighley Sept 1947, married Alan Lindh 1967

I do remember some Coppens. I was born March 1947. There was also alad called Kavanagh in my year at Ingrow Juniors

Well I'll be dickle dockled!
So Tommy did marry Diane after all - he was a good mate of mine, as were all the Copperwaites, I think Tommy was the youngest but boy, was he hard case or what? Good to have him on my side. I could tell you a couple of good tales about Tommy but I'd like to know if he's still around or not first. I'm in Australia but I do visit!!

As for Margaret, we had dinner with her and her husband, Clive Boston, at the home of Fred & Dorothy Drake, they lived a couple of doors away. Another close neighbour was Paul Sugden who also visited us that evening. He had really aged and I believe he passed away shortly after following a battle with throat cancer.

Trevor, yes Margaret Lindh (nee Coppen) married Clive S Boston in 1975 in Keighley. First marriage musn't have worked out. Cant find a death for Alan Lindh.

Think I knew Paul Sugden, Had a cousin called Judith who was in my class at Ingrow Juniors. She also had an elder brother. I quite liked Judith . She married Richard Tillotson.

Wow. All these names coming to the surface after all these years.
I'd forgotten Clive Boston. He was a friend for a while at kbgs. Lived near the chip shop at the bottom of Victoria Road.

Didn't know (or don't remember!) any of these people myself, but that lass Shirley must have been really smitten to wed a bloke called Shaw. The ultimate in alliterative names or what?!
