Would early 1990s be too recent as I have some of me teaching from then.
If you want to know who the people are in my photos, my mum is the tallest girl standing next to the teacher in the first one and at the back with her hand raised in the second.
In the group shot my Gt Uncle is front row, 4th from the left. He and his elder brother (my Grandad) were orphaned when they were just 6 and 4 years old.
My Gt Grandad died at aged 30 of TB, and Gt Gran, knowing that she was also dying of it arranged to take her 2 boys to the orphanage before her death.
I can't begin to imagine how she felt when she left them there. It was the last time they ever saw her, as she died a few months later. I was always told she died of a broken heart, and I can believe it.
