Please clean/tidy/date - Embden Street - Manchester School Photo - Thanks
« on: Saturday 11 December 10 13:38 GMT (UK) »
Hello Restorers

Would one you be kind enough to clean and tidy (colour if you'd like to) the attached photograph... My Great Uncle Charlie Jones (1912-1942), as you look at the picture, is 3rd row back, 6th from the left...

The teacher doesn't look like he'd stand for any messing around does he!!!  >:(.... ;D

Does anyone recognise any of their ancestors from this?

Thanking you in advance

Leeeeeese

I sat my eleven plus at Embden Street school in 1946/47 - passed,  of course!!  I recollect that the playing area was actually on the roof!!

Hi

Was very interested in photo of Embden street school

Think maybe my uncle is on that photo.

Have you any more?

Hi

Not sure I understand your reply but thanks for replying.

Has your uncle any living relatives who attended Embden Street school?  Am trying to trace descendants of my uncle William Briggs born 1908.  Think he attended this school

Lovely photograph

I think Mancsman was referring to "his try" at restoring Leese's photo  ;)

Leese, if your uncle was born in 1912 and this is a bunch of grade 7 boys (according to the sign) then I'm guessing that he'd be 12 in the pic, so that puts the photo at 1924 or so.  :)
