Hello Michael
Mary was my friend at Englisn Martyrs School. I have often thought about her over the years. I have a lovely school photo of the two of us. I remember asking my Mum if Mary could be on my photo as I don't think she could have one?

I would love to send you a copy, Mary may have had one, I can't remember.

I would love to hear how Mary got on in life.

With very best wishes to you all.

Maureen (nee Reilly) xx

I am afraid I cannot cast any light on the children, but my mother worked in the office - to the right of the front door in the early 1950s.  We left York in 1953.  I remember spending time there, presumably in school holidays, and would play alongside the residents.  I have memory of a bedroom, connected to a neighbour bedroom by a "Jack & Jill" wardrobe - doors opening to both rooms.
Another member of staff at that time - or possibly a volunteer, she worked with my mother in the office was the mother of Lady Katharine Worsley - my mother wrote to her when her daughter married the Duke of Kent!  Silly things you remember - it was all a long time ago.
