Great Photo. I didn’t go to that school but lived in South Westland at the time. Maybe Herb and Malcom Rochford at the Back, maybe their sister in front of them. Brian Cadigan next to them, Maybe Eileen Cadigan half hidden at the back (nee Hutchison). Maybe Rabby Watson with the fair hair. The littlest fellow in the left front could be a Wilson as maybe the girl with shoes in the front is a Wilson. I would estimate about 1948/52

Di Henderson Yeah you can definitely pick the Rochford boys. I think the front one is Dick Wilson. Aunty Margaret is next to him then Uncle Brian. I've messages Aunty Marg to confirm smile emoticon
