Many thanks John Yes I was going to do that later It being the Easter hols I thought it unlikely I would get a response just now but will try later I had great success at another school my father went to, who were really helpful, they even sent a school magazine circa 1929/30 in which my father featured a few times in debating societies and in the Rugby team, along with a great team photo with him in I also made contact with my mothers school in Bucks and they very kindly supplied photo copies of the school year photos in which my then very young mother featured So its definitely worth trying Thanks for the feedback Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 22/04/2014 06:23, JOHN RILEY wrote: > Nivard > > If you have a specific request, I would suggest you contact the School themselves.

Hi John Just a short update I emailed Stamford school and was not expecting a reply for a while as its the Easter holidays, but received a very prompt reply within a few hours They were not able to add much but did send a scan of the page in the register of Stamford School 1532 - 1960 in which my father appears in 1921 So it appears he was only there a year or so, he was just eight so I am just grateful I found the entry in the paper Still, it all adds to a part of the story of his life Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 22/04/2014 10:28, Nivard Ovington wrote: > Many thanks John > > Yes I was going to do that later > > It being the Easter hols I thought it unlikely I would get a response > just now but will try later
