I know Judith Redman, she was in the same class as Chris Plachta, Maria Stephens, Ann Anderson et al, (alphas) Were you an alpha? I was in same year but an 'x'. I still see Chris and Maria often, I will ask them if they know where Judith might be and let you know.

Yes - I remember them all. I was an Alpha. My maiden name was Walsh. I think I was a little weird then.....I'm OK now though! Have been a nurse for 26 years and love it.

The last I heard, Judith was living in Darmstadt, Germany. She had a daughter about the same time I had my son. Would appreciate any help in getting in touch with her. Thanks.

My brothers and sisters are Theresa, Jimmy, Marie, Moira, Joseph and Frances. I have never been back to England but would love to hear from anyone I used to know. My son is living in Accrington at the moment.

Hi Gerry, I'm Bernie Flanagan and I migrated to Australia the same year you did. I was in the same class as your cousin Anne Brankin.

I would like to hear from anyone I went to school with. I went to the junior school until 1965 when we first migrated to Australia and then returned in 1967. I then went on to the grammar school until 1972 when we migrated again.

I'm getting lost in this site but here goes anyway...I was at Paddock House from '58 to '63 and my sister was also there, but 2 years behind me. We were both in the U form. Mother Mary Magdalene was principal. Our surname was Rudzik, does anyone remember us?

Hi, I was at Paddock from 1952 until 1964 and in the grammar school I was also in the U stream with the dreaded Mother Mary Mag as headmistress.
Sorry but your name doesn't ring a bell.
The only foreign sounding name I remember was 'Botta '( 2 sisters- Emoke and Pearl ). They were both excellent musicians and I think they came from Hungary
More info might stimulate my ageing brain cells!!

Thanks anyway Susan, it was long ago wasn't it? Here are some names from girls in my Form: Bridget Broughal, Marie Demaine, Maureen Lawrence, Hilary Gaynor. Ring any bells? I was probably one form ahead of you and my sister Patricia was one behind. She remembers Angela Prendergast quite well.

I remember them all. You're right, I was a year behind and in the same class as Bridget Broughal's sister Pat. I played in the school netball team with Bridget and a girl called Margaret Pickup. I can remember Bridget and Margaret because they both got about 11 gce's and then 6 a levels !!! Unbelievable, and they still had time to go up Accy Jazz club!!

Quite right, Mez, Angela (Pendy) had no brother.
Only know this, because I have just seen her down town and asked her !!
She was whizzing around on her mobility scooter with David (her now husband !) in tow.
