Hi Lorraine

I thought you probably had looked, but posted in case you had not.

During my working life i used to work at a place virtually opposite the Morley school on Wells Road.Small world.
I used to know some Leatherlands in the 1940/50s but they lived in the Hyson Green area of Nottingham,pity but i woudlnt remember now their christian names, or the street they lived on.

I can have look for you if you like, do you know if this was something that was reported in the local paper.
But i will ask the staff there they are very helpful

Any other info you have will help.

My mother-in-law went to Morley school and probably left in 1937? Her name is Kathleen but sometimes was known as Kay. She had younger sisters, Irene and Gladys and two younger brothers Stanley and Roy. Does anyone recognise these names?
