This photograph relates to two previous posts relating to Mabel Todd of Lothersdale & possibly, in latter life, Cracoe.

This was a photograph sent to Mabel in 1922 showing Cracoe School.

The teacher is too young to be Mabel but it might show some of her relations.

Can anyone identify anyone in the photograph?

Is there a connection between Cracoe School & Mabel Todd?

Thanking you in anticipation.

I an researching Mabel Todd & her family who lived at Brook Terrace, Lothersdale in 1881.

Wedding Hall Fold, Lothersdale, in 1891.

High Fold, Lothersdale in 1901.

I believe she became a school teacher in Lothersdale & her father moved from working in the quarry in Lothersdale, possibly Raygill to work at Swinden Quarry Linton/Threshfield.

She may have retired to Cracoe.

I have a lot of material that could be related but once again I am trying to put flesh on the bones.

The photographs possibly show Mabel & her husband in retirement in the Cracoe area.

Any help outside searches on Ancestry or findmypast would be very welcome.

Thanking you in advance.

This post relates to the previous posts Grassington School 1914 Parts 1 & 2.

The pupils this time are Joseph Tyson, Norman Irlam, Cecil Harker, T.Fairclough, Geo. Stubbs & Norman Walmsley.

In August 1914 Grassington School posed for the School Photograph and the Headmistress at the time, Mrs Chapman wrote the names of most of the pupils underneath and there are so many local names that one instantly recognises. Three of the photograph's have no name & one has a name crossed out. Some of the pictures correspond to other studio photographs I have of the time taken By Grimshawe brothers of Grassington.

Does anyone recognize the children with the names missing?

Are there any relatives, of the pupils who read this forum, who would like to provide me with some background information about the children of Grassington School from 1914.

The size of the photograph, on two pages, means that it has to be scanned in 4 pieces. I will post each part as a separate post to make responses more manageable.

The first Photograph has Dorothy & Margaret Easterby as a center piece & contains the missing/crossed out pictures.

Names are Mrs Chapman, Jos Cousins (crossed out), Allan Stephenson, Hilda Pattinson, Geo. Benson, Evelyn Blagden, Geo. Easterby, Cyril Walmsley, UNKNOWN, H Griffin, Bertie Hill, Hannah Stubbs, Mary Chapman, Marjory Blagden, Florie Nichols, Edna Darwin, UNKNOWN, UNKNOWN, Charlie Smith, Reggie Richmond & Mary Ibbotson. Mary Bownas, Dora Ibbotson, Kathleen Beckwith, H. Ibbotson & Ed. S Percival also appear on the next post as I have had to crop scans to fit in with upload sizes.

Thanking you in advance.
