Hi Bob, regarding the school pictures, my sister Enid is on the second photo seated on the front row, third on the left. Ian is on the sixth photo (I originally said fourth) he's on the third row, second left. I love looking at all the old photographs including Bootle Joc. Thanks again for posting them.
