This picture was published in the Grantham Journal on the 1st July 1939. Mr Johnson was the school Superintendent and Mr North the Honorary Superintendent. Edna Calcraft was listed as the Assistant Organist.
Marjorie, Betty and Patricia Calcraft were all born in Canada and moved to Breeder Hills Farm in 1934 with their mother after their father Thomas died in Saskatchewan. Tom Calcraft had emigrated from the farm in 1901.
Dear Bill, Many thanks for adding this information. Any information you can add is very welcome. With best regards, Neil
I believe Mary (born 1928) and Frank (born 1935) in this picture were my aunt and uncle.
But they also had cousins locally which could have been Mary born in 1930 (daughter of Albert).
