Anne, did the lady on the left marry Norman Dean from Whelley? If so she is my Aunt Margaret. They had two sons,Norman Jnr and Alan. Uncle Norman was the younger brother of my mother Dorothy Dootson nee Dean.I remember as a child visiting Marsh's Court with young Norman and playing with two of his cousins.The names Zena and Clifford from your previous posts spring to mind.

Comment for John D. I lived at 84 Whelley and as a young kid spent a lot if time at your house playing with yr sister Margaret. I used to call yr mum auntie although we are not related. Also in my late teens Alan Dean was part of our crowd.
