Bagshot children in the 1950's
Can you help identify any more of the people shown?
Christmas Party
These three pictures were taken at Christmas parties held in St Anne's Parish Hall about 1949/50. The lady who sent me the pictures is not sure whether the parties were hosted by the Labour Club or the Working Men's Club. Pamela thinks they are more likely to be 1951/2 and held by Labour Party.
Identified so far we have:

Thanks to many contributors including Marilyn. and Pamela Marler [nee Summerton] 6124.906 7060.807
Christine Malynn (behind the jug) and Bridie Malynn on her right (with the polka dot blouse). Marilyn thought the second boy on the left is Peter Summerton and third, next to him, is his twin brother Philip who she thinks now now lives in Canada. 6124.906 However their sister Pamela says that these are not them.
Marilyn adds that Peter and Philip were not identical twins. They had a brother Vernon, but she cannot identify him in any of the pictures. She wonder if these photos were of the British Legion parties, whom her father Jim Kircher was a member, noting that it was a real treat when these events were arranged as most of the local children would be invited 6124.906
According to May & Pamela, the first boy on the left is John Evans behind him is his brother Gerald Evans next to Gerald is Robert Phillips. 6128.1006
What a joy it was to see these photos of some of my old school mates from over fifty years ago when I lived in Bagshot in a house attached to the church there. The Moran's and Malynn's I have been fortunate enough, thanks to your news letter, to have been re-united with. We all had a reunion in Bagshot about four years ago. Have not located Graham Nesbitt yet, an Australiane boy who lived there at the time. Thank you for this latest treasure! Pat Hunter( nee Pattyree Cusack) 404.906

This photo was taken in the grounds of the old Catholic church.
So far we have identified Mary, Margaret & Brendan Moran ; the Kell family; Christine, Bridie, Patrick & Peter Malynn ; Gloria & Anne Roberts ; and cousins Ted Kenna & Teresa Kenna.
A larger version of this picture is available with a key to names.
Teresa Scales (nee Kenna) remembers walking up the hill to the church on
a wonderful snowy, frosty night to go to Midnight Mass.

Boxing Club
Peter Malynn has sent this old photo of the boxing club circa 1958. He has identified some of the faces, and Norman Elkins, Mick Topping and Gerry have added some more names. Ray wrote: "second row no 6 with the glasses I am almost certain is Ken Galloway, being next to Alvar makes sense, Ken was a band member too". 540.1006 Can you help identify any more? Apr06 May06
