This is the very first school photo I had taken....I was at St Marie's Catholic Primary School when it was on Almond Brook Road....would have been taken in around 1954....The outfit I am wearing would have been made by my Grannie Lizzie Birchall....My Mum's mum.....I think I would have had had my satchel over my shoulder.

Hello Ray, I looked on your avatar and although your face seems familiar I can't think I would have known you. I was born in 1952 so would have been quite a few years behind you at school, and my brother Colin was 12 yrs. older than me, making him 6 years older than you, so I obviously wouldn't have known you via him. I certainly remember the name Dwyer from Ince. I think Jenny Flannery who kept a shop on Ince Green Lane was a Dwyer, as my mam always called her Jenny Dwyer, and I recall a Derek Dwyer. I put a photo on "Assorted" under the heading "Wiganers in London" and Derek Dwyer is on it along with my Dad. Nice to talk to you anyway....isn't this site brilliant?!

Irene, I love it on here especially the messageboards. I'm pretty sure I'm not related to any of the 'Dwyers' that you have mentioned. The reason I know is that my daughter has done quite a lot of 'family history' research and has a detailed family tree of us 'Dwyers'. Take care.
