Thanks for your message John - I didn't know any boys attended the school, so that's really interesting. And the fact that you lived so near there too! Thanks so much for sharing your memories :-)

Thanks so much for your message and your kind comments Moira - I'm glad you enjoyed my site, and it brought back good memories for you of your time at St Anne's. That's so funny about Dusty's desk too! Have a wonderful day :-)

I was also a pupil at St Vincents and St Anne's and I really enjoyed seeing the pictures.I was 4 years behind your mother,my "claim"to Dusty Springfield (Mary) was that I sat at her desk when I was in "4B".I did not have the pleasure of meeting your mother but I so enjoyed your rememberence of her.She must have been very proud of you and Sam. Thank you for allowing me to enjoy the great pictures.

Hello Rosemary - thanks for your message, it's always good to hear about other Canns!

I haven't heard of the lady you mention though unfortunately - and I'm not aware of anyone (from my father's side) residing in that area.

Good luck with your search though!

Best wishes

Steve

Have you ever come across the name Ethel Ivy Cann.  Could have been born around 1020 - 1930 and possibly living in the Woking/Guildford area of South East England in 1945/46?

Hello Steve, My brother in law Alan Reeves sent me a link to your history of your Mother Christine. He thought I might be interested as I too was a pupil at St Ann's Convent. As it happens I knew the Balfe family through my Mother's friendship with the George family (who may have been related to them). Also I was in the same year as Angela Trasler who may have been a sibling of Celia. My d.o.b is September 1939 so i was younger than Christine. I was a year below Mary O'Brien. It certainly brought back memories of St Ann's when I saw the photo of the girls with the Nuns on the front lawn of the school. I think that you have paid a lovely tribute to your mother by creating the Photobiography. Teresa

Great site that is brilliant sharing. My nephew plays for Staines who are in the same league as Maidenhead.

I've been trying to trace Ted Campden and uniquely he came up on your website - second left, back row in the RAF group. I recognise him though I knew him a few years later. Might any of the contacts still be in touch? He may be in the Nottingham area but doesn't show on any phone search.
