Rev Cyril Dunsby centre. I think I've spotted Susan Bridge and Margaret Cunliffe, apologies if I'm wrong.
Left on front row is "Taffy" Jackson who was a teacher at All Saints School.
First on the left is it Roy (Taffy)Jackson teacher from All Saints
I think Roy Jackson also taught at Moss Lane in the early 50's.
Ben Hall organist, far right front row?
Next to him, Ernie Hooper ( with the spectacles ) who had the dairy at the bottom of Lord Street?
Yes Ernest Hooper was our milkman. His wife was named Phoebe. Pheobe was a great actress with the church's. dramatic society. Based in shaw st. Wigan.
Known as Cissie Hooper I think. Maybe her name was Phoebe and she was just known as Cissie
left hand side with glasses Alison Milner and behind her Valerie or Carol Hall. Next to her Jenny ?? who died very young. Back row left Christine Dunsby daughter or Cyril, very back row right again either Val or CArol Hall in front of her Susan Hill and extreme right Tania Smith. Man in suit next to Roy Jackson Frank Singleton, he and Ernie must have been church wardens at the time. Would guess this was mid 60s.
There were two ladies. Pheobe and Cissie Hooper. I think one was Ernies wife ( not sure which one ) and the other lady may have been his sister or sister in law. Or some relation.
Also in the photo are Jenny Woods(she died very young),Joe Melling in middle of next to back row,Harold Winrow in 3rd row and on his right Malcolm Farrimond and behind Rev.Dunsby is Alan Jameson.
