This thread got me digging out my old school reports. Hayden was my form master in 1961 when I was in Shell (combined 2nd/3rd Form) Harry Jessop in 1964 for Remove (2nd year of 5th Form due to bad O level results). Some teachers faces, if not names, I remember (plus me). Whole School Photo 1964

You must have been there at pretty much the same time as me.

These photos of Crocodile Works take me right back to when my father was Sales Manager for Martindales. I have some Crocodile Brand labels that I liberated from the site when you could still get in.

What an interesting thread. My ancestors Nellie, Ethel and Ann were ladies outfitters according to the 1921 census with a shop (The Misses Williams ? ) in Icknield Street. The census says no 112 which matches a 1956 Kelly's directory entry listed in this thread.

No problem. I did wonder when I came across a Rawlins tree on Ancestry. I'm aware of a 'Shelley Fisher' connection in the USA but I don't have all the details about Eliza Baker (1815-1902).

Hi Alexander, They are my 3 x great grandparents too! have you found anything about Isaiah Fisher c.1796 and Isaac Fisher c.1761?
