Sorry I don't recognise your dad. I recognise the tall lad in the middle bottom row and the one on the right bottom row, can't remember their names.

Susan, I lived opposite your Dad's family for a number of years.I was closer in age to Billy. I can't date the photo but think it must be the late 1950' or early 60's

I knew Arthur very well, and was a personal friend when the family lived at No 2 Close Street i lived at No 4 he was 12 months younger than me. I left Argyle Street School in 1958 so he would have left in 1959. Hope this information is of use to you
