So if Jean Paterson lived in Dovecote Street she is the girl who is married to Malcolm Heath who comes from a well known Stockton footballing family. Donny his brother & Lee Turnbull his nephew both played for Middlesbrough F.C.
In answer to your question, yes the girl 2nd from right is Jean Paterson, she is actually one of the girls who meet up for coffee with me.
Is the girl 2nd from right, back-row Jean Paterson, the same girl who lived in Dovecote Street near Mill Lane School?
Hello to all you girls in the photograph. I am visiting Stockton later this year and would love to meet up with you. A few of us have already started meeting up whenever I get back to Stockton and we would love to make it a bigger gathering. The Picture Stockton Team can give you my e-mail adress. Look forward to hearing from you.
