Thank you to all my readers, this is my 52rd post, I find it hard to believe that my first post was a year ago. Through this blog I have 'met', family members I didn't know existed, descendants of Grandad Beck's colleagues and friends that have enjoyed my scribbles. I can't thank you enough for all your kind comments. I hope you will all keep reading as I write the last few posts of Grandad Beck's life as a policeman.
To celebrate the New Year I thought I would give you a challenge. Can you help me identify May and Lionel in these school photographs. The first two are taken at Broadwey School. From 1904-1908 the family lived at 6 Prospect Place, Upwey. At first I wondered why the children went to Broadwey school when there was a school in Upwey. Then I found that the police house was in a lane just off the main Dorchester to Weymouth road and between the two schools. Lionel was born in March 1899 and May is two years younger born in 1901.
I have included some photographs of the family to help identify the Children.

In this photograph the children are older so I am wondering if is after the family moved to Dorchester in 1908.
