I can just see my own head poking forward in the middle - remember many of the children shown
Tony Keane,
Billy Gaskell my grandad; lived with His daughter Nelly and Frank Burns with their two daughters in the end house in Dean Street; Across the street lived the twins Joseph and James with their parents Jimmy and Mary Gaskell. Mary's maiden name was Bennett
Did Mary Gaskell / Bennett have a daughter Alice?
The man and woman in the door archway are my grandmother and grandfather jhon William Gregory .mary gregory
My aunt and uncle Sheila and Dennis Brown are on the right hand side of the bench..my mum Eileen hadn't been born then...
Is the Billy Gaskell you mention the son of Elizabeth and William Gaskell? Did he have a brother, John? John Gaskell was my great grandad and his family were from Dean St. Would love to share some info!
I have a similar photo taken from a different angle. My grandmother, Winifred Hurst, great Grandmother, Jane Farrell and Auntie Rita Hurst are on my version but they’re missing from this one. They lived at 3 Dean Street.
