That’s just him Maureen but his hair is very white now. He hasn’t changed much.

Yes Veronica,I went to my friends funeral..the girl second from the left and Father John conducted it.

Lovely pic of you Maureen.x

Thank you Elizabeth.x

The lady with flowers , is it Miss Redington ? If it is her I'm she would light the room, she had a lovely personality.

Yes Tom it is Miss Redington..I put all the names of everyone on the photo but for some reason it hasn't come on..she was a lovely little person wasn't she.

Yes Tom it is her ,she was a lovely teacher for the infants...also some of my replies aren't coming through at all.

Here are the names of the people on this photo in case anyone thinks they might know them
Left to right .. Raymond Unsworth
Pauline Cox lived in one of those houses on the Caroline St photo.. a lovely girl came from a lovely family.
Don’t know the next man.
Father Johnson fromSt Joseph’s school and church.
The next one in the red coat.. think her name was Pauline but forgotten her surname.
My Friend Molly Hill .. we were friends all through School.
Little miss Redington the infants teacher, everyone loved her, she was loved by everyone.
Helen Kelly who went to America and won a million on the lottery and who organised this meet up.
Yours truly and I’ve forgotten the last girls name…. Four of the girls have since passed away.

I always wonder if anyone named Cox might be a relation of mine Maureen. My Paternal Grt Grandmother was a Cox before marriage.

Veronica ,you never know.. I’ve been fascinated with my heritage for donkeys years . and I’d love to know why when my Mam was younger she was extremely dark skinned the kids at school to to shout Maureen’s Mam is. a blackie I’ve tried to find info out for donkeys years.. all I can tell you is that she had an older sister .. her name was Marie ..there was also a brother named named Billy who was a policeman who also passed away though too far too young.. they had a lovey house NO 19 Caroline street.. thee was piano in the front room whee their piano was and there was a photo of he dad on top in a cap and gown .im only telling you this in case when you were growing up that you may have heard a snippet or two ,you never know do you? .

Why oh why I.wonder does my iPad keep putting its own silly words in..

You could do a ‘dna’ test and find out your heritage. I’ve yet to do it but it’s on my wish list to do Maureen. Your Irish heritage could contain some Spanish….
although that is mainly the jet black hair. .

There's a lot of McGoverns in Argentina....I haven't priced a DNA test ..it would be interesting wouldn't it.

There would be a lot of Norse blood in us as well…the Vikings spread themselves about a bit … We are a mixed bag Maureen.
