Michael McBurney started the naming process with: “Since Barbara has started this and it will probably embarrassing to get names wrong I will start it off. The year I believe would be 1962-63. I trust I will not offend anyone with my bad memory but I now hope someone will fill in the rest and correct any errors.” Steven Thornton added: “I’m very impressed with Michaels memory (certainly better than mine). I think I can fill in a few blanks; Form 1A March 1963.” Bob Barton tells us: ”No.8 Middle row is John Watts whose family was very kind to me when I moved to Brotton from the West Riding.”

A lovely studio portrait of the two ladies, but we don’t know anything else about them. The lady standing on the left could be Isabel Thurlow of Boulby Barns Farm, the seated lady could be Mary Ann Severs (her mother). Perhaps somebody could assist?

This family group was taken in about 1910 at Boulby Barns Farm. John and Isabel Thurlow are seated, second right and second left, surrounded by their two sons and seven daughters. Georgina is third from the left, at the back, and the child seated in front is Amy, one of their granddaughters. Can someone tell us any more about the family and why they have all got together for the photograph?
It is known that the daughters were Mary Ann, Bessie, Lucy Sarah, Barbara, Ada and Georgina.
Anne Codling (great granddaughter of Ada Thurlow) tells us: ”The two sons would be Henry and Christopher. From tracing the family tree, Edwin died in 1881. If this was taken in 1910, this would have been taken the year after my grandfather was born, Edwin (son of Ada and Matthew Codling).” John and Isabel had a third son, Edwin, who had died in 1881.
Diane Crosby-Browne tells us: ”Dinah Thurlow born 1802, was at the farm in 1841 census with husband Mark Hall before they moved to Craggs House, Brotton. Dinah’s father was James Thurlow abt 1776 and mother, Isabella Mawson.”
Peter Appleton assists with further information on the Thurlows: “James Thurlow (1776-1856) was described as “Agent” in the Marriage Register entry for his son, Thomas’s marriage to Martha Clark in 1839. This could mean that he was the Agent for the Boulby Alum Works, a role which needed filling after the deaths of George Dodds snr. in 1833 and George Dodds jnr. in 1837. Thomas Thurlow (1813-1895) was described as “Clerk to the alum works” on the baptism entries for each of his children.
If any descendants of either James or Thomas would like more information, please ask the Archive to pass your contact details to me.

Owen Rooks tells us: ”I can’t recollect what the system was for determining the size of classes, 38 of us in 1950, 27 in 1953. There were only four classrooms in the school itself and an annexe had to be opened in an old chapel in North Skelton.”
Craig Laffey tells us: “Nice to see a photograph or two of my dad Owen Laffey who is still alive and well in Scarborough.”

The postcard caption says ’Farm near Boulby Cliff’, it is confirmed as Hummersea Farm; but is there anything else significant?
Anne Cammidge tells us: ”The photograph shows the old cow byre buildings of Hummersea Farm. The building to the right was where the grain was kept and the flour grinder. The main farmhouse is set in the hill behind the trees. My mother Annie Hart was born and brought up here with sisters, Elsie, Ada, Mary, Hilda and brother Tommy Hart who eventually bought the farm from Lord Zetland. Uncle Tommy retired in the mid 1980’s when he moved to Easington.”
Holly Enticknap has the following memories: ”We converted the cow byre into our home, and called it The Barns. I’ll always remember there was a bottle stuck to the wall in the cow bier, about 20feet up! We never did figure out why it was there as there was no way to reach that height without ladders?”.
