My wife found this school photo, and was delighted to find my brother David on the photo. He was killed when he was 19, on a motorbike. I myself had one along with the rest fo my brothers. We have managed to acquire a few old photos for a scrapbook my wife is making of the family history. We have a photo of David with his motorbike just before he died and he hadnt changed from his school photo. Thanks for the person donating it.Roy

Doris Farrimond. Does anybody have information on Doris Farrimond. I'm looking for a Doris Farrimond B1943 from Southport. She would be an aunts half sister.

Fabulous to see this photo. Derek Williams (Third from the right on the back row) was my uncle. Sadly he passed away in 2017. My mum, Shirley Heyes (nee Williams) was his sister.
