Stephanie Wallace · 15-05-2010, 07:37

Anyone remember Joan, Alicia, Stephen Cooney from Holy Family?

Stephanie Wallace · 15-05-2010, 07:42

Hated Mr. Btuynseels and he hated me! Geography-he used to stand over me and make me so nervous I couldn't read the map!

Stephanie Wallace · 23-05-2010, 07:51

Anyone from St Oswald's remember Rita Madigan, Ursula Crook, Patty McDonald? 1940-1950?

Stephanie Wallace · 23-05-2010, 07:53

Hi John, You must be younger than I am. I was at St. Oswalds's before you, but my sisters went to Holy Family. You may have know them- Joanie Cooney, Alicia Cooney, my brothers, Dennis Cooney and Stephen Cooney. Steve used to deliver papers round Fern Gore. I never see any familiar names when I look on the page. Do you know anyone by the name of Patricia Hinksman. She was Caveney before her marriage and has a sister called Maureen. Pat's ex was called Jimmy and came from Whalley, I think.

Stephanie, I think I was in the same class at Holy Family with one of your brothers. I didn't go to St Oswald's school, went straight to the Holy Family, from St Anne's.

I think you were probably a couple of years above me. You may well have been in the same year as my sister. I know most of the names you mention. And still see one or two of them knocking about.

What was your sisters first name Bernard, was it Kathleen

that seems to ring a bell, most of the people I mentioned, I think I've only seen 4 since I left school, George Holt I've seen regularly, he lives in Ossy and of course Tony Alveston, John (Louie) Toole lives in Ossy and saw Martin Molloy when I lived in Hassy

Not unless they had doubles Alan

John , if you are still visiting the Accy Web , do you mean Fred Bentley? He had a twin brother , Harry. They lived on Blackburn Rd just before you reach where the old Grammar School was.
Fred taught at Holy Family - Mount Carmel. He was keen on all sports. He once took a group abroad for a skiing holiday and came back with a broken leg.
He would have been 63 now . He died last year , sadly unable to enjoy the retirement he was about to begin.

The Miss Birch , often mentioned on this thread , became Mrs Ormerod after her retirement . I think that will surprise many.

Hello - I found this thread accidentally! I was at St. Oswald's in 1954/55. Then we moved to Chester when I was 6.
I was in Miss Birch's class, then in Mrs. Eddisforth's for most of my time there. Although it's unlikely anyone would remember me, did anyone know Hilary Webster, who was my friend? She was the same age and had a brother Peter who was a couple of years older in Miss Gardner's. I've often wondered what happened to Hilary.
I've still got a school photo from my year, but can only remember some first names!
Dorothy, Deidre, Janet, Mary, Maureen (surname Asprin?), Antony, Peter, Barry, David, Dale, Jimmy?
Just thought someone might have brothers or sisters around that time and might know Hilary.
I was Kim Peddie and lived on Blackburn Rd in a little chocolate shop.
