Roscoe Primary School 1935-1944

[Jamie79]

A belated happy new year one and all. Where is January going?!

I just wanted to take what I hope isn't too long a shot to see whether anyone might have attended Roscoe Primary School on Ballantyne Road in Clubmoor during the years 1935-1944, or might know of someone who did. I have been able to pin down the years during which my late grandmother attended the school and thought there might be a chance that a school photograph from the era might exist in somebody's scrapbook, or perhaps even someone with a particularly brilliant memory might remember the era, or even possibly maybe have a memory of a girl named Enid Pert who lived on Alleyne Road. I imagine school life in those precise years in Liverpool must have been more than a little war interrupted and I believe there was even a story about a Nazi bomb landing nearby (or maybe actually in the playground?) and causing quite a bit of damage.

Any memories (or tips as to people who might have them!) warmly welcomed!

Hi and Happy New Year back at you.

Did you know that at least some of the Records of the school are held at the Record Office, http://www.liverpool.liverpool-genealog ... hools.html

It might also be useful for you to post on our Facebook group as your request might reach an alternative group who may know others to ask as well.

Thanks Mary, good idea I will post on the facebook page too. I paid a quick visit to the archive for the first time on Monday during a fleeting visit to Liverpool and had a good look at the admissions books. I've put together a list of names of other children admitted and moved up from Infants to Juniors at the same time as Enid and hope maybe I can track one or two of them down. We'll see
