names on photos

[poppysmum]

hi, we have been given an old photo album of my husband's family.  they were bashfords from Midlesbrough.  There are some photos ith other people named on them, i thought if i put the name on here someone might recognise them.  Long shot i know but it is worth a try!

Leonard Sample
Jack Hogg
Keith Pyrah
Ralph Hogg
(taken in 1936)

I have a photo of the 1st Middlesbrough Company of the boy's brigade attached to St George's Congregational Church 1933,
also Boy's Brigade camp at Aireyholme Farm, Great Ayton 1935.

I have some photos taken during WW2, these names are;
Keith Pyrah
Gerald Mulroy
Howard Whitehead
(1940)

John Mclellan
Joe Stephenson
Harry Ratcliffe
George Taylor
Gerry Devine

it would be lovely if anyone recognised these names, if so please let me know!

Hi

Just a thought, you could write or email our local evening paper Evening Gazette, every week there is an article about where are they now, people's old photo's, old service comrades trying to organise reunions, if you send this info I bet they would publish it and that way people in the area of Middlesbrough and surrounding ares will read try here

Good luck

Nutty, is that on a particular day as I don't normally get the Gazette but that sounds interesting, or is it online?

My old english teacher at Whinney Banks was called Devine, can't remember his first name. He was a small man, and I remember him talking about the war.

I know someone from M'bro on another site called Sample, I'll ask them if Leonard is a relly.

I've pm'd him through the other site, but no reply yet. I'll let you know if he gets back to me.

Hi, I know a couple of Samples. One lives in Howden, East Yorkshire, and his son has a photography company in Derby.

Hi Caroline

I have just been looking at your post about the Bashfords.

In my family tree I have a William Henry Bashford, born Middlesbrough 1865.

He Married Mary Elizabeth Purvess, she was born 1872 in North Ormsby.

She was my husbands Great Grandfathers sister.

I have William & Mary, with four children.

Thomas H Bashford 1890 born North Ormsby.

Ester 1894, born North Ormsby,

Dorothy 1901 born Middlesbrough.

Eleanor 1902 born Middlesbrough.

Could they be members of your husbands family?

Regards Kathc
