I've been to see a friend today and she showed me a very old photo album but she didn't have a clue who the people in it were.

There were three or four priests among the pictures and we wondered if anybody get help find anything on them.

Her name is Joan Ratcliffe (That was her maiden name). She was born July 1924, her mothers maiden name was Atkinson. What we're trying to do is work backwards to see if any relatives were in fact priests. Joan was an only child born in Barrow in Furness.

I personally haven't been on here for ages and have tried searching but find you now have to purchase credits to do so, is there another way of searching for free

I'd appreciate and so would Joan (she's 92) any help anybody would be willing to give to try and put some facts and maybe names to these pics at this late stage of her life. She had no living relatives of her own to ask

Thankyou
