I knew Norman well, and his wife Marjorie. I grew up with his sons Geoff and Michael. They lived in Palm Grove (Fairfield). Lovely family.

My grandad William Atkinson was a bus driver at this time, how can I find out if he is on this photograph.

Great photo. I had a girl in my class at Norton school in the 1950’s called ‘Carol Trattles’. It’s an unusual name… any relation?. My maiden name was Miller.

No, I don’t think so.

Okay, thanks for replying. If she’s still around, she’ll be in her 70’s now.

Andy, It sounds like Jean could have been Carol’s mother – thanks v much. Of course, Carol’s name was her maiden name – as Miller was mine!

I’m really sorry, but the only people I know are my grandad and Bill. The photograph had no information on it, so the only way you could find out is if you can identify him yourself.

Thank you, I have tried without success as I only knew him in his Up’s and on the photo he woul only be early 40’s.Unfortunately none of that generation are still alive, so am sorting through old photos to see if zig can find any of him as a young man. Linda
