i think that Mrs. Moss is the lady holding a child in her arms stood behind the lady with the black turban on, and also on the right hand side of the photo again holding a small child is Mrs Tarsker.  

Terry and Margaret Tarsker are standing just in front of her; both families lived in north street.

Hi Bob, next left is Charlie.

My brothers can be found as this: the lad in a dark jacket in 2nd row in the middle is brother John, to his left is Reg (I think,lol) next left is Charlie - to the right of John is Bill (or maybe Reg, lol ) Hope this helps...

Nice one Len, I've made the big picture clickable so you should be able to see things pretty clearly.

If anyone wants a bit enlarged I'll do so along the lines of the three lads miniature and put it on the site.

By the way where are John, Charlie, Reg and Bill?
