Is Colin Sellers Christine Sellers brother? Has anyone a contact number for him?

Is that the lovely Joyce Dean, who lived at the top of Smethurst Lane? Her Dad was an engine driver.

Some of the girls in the photo were at St Mark's Sec. School For Girls. 1959-1963.I remember Susan Baynes, Margaret Marsden,Irene Hurst and June Heath. It's a great photo, i'd spotted Susan and Margaret before the names were provided, i was quite friendly with them at St Mark's.
