Does anyone remember Miss Speakman who taught at Our Lady's, Formby. about 1947-50? She then taught at Our Lady of Lourdes Birkdale,in the early 50s, but she was then married. Unfortunately I can't remember her married name.Any news?

I remember a Beryl Speakman at Christ The King in the late '60s - early '70s.... Same or not?

Hi Blackdog, I seem to remember Miss Speakmans christian name was Shirley, but the name is a bit of a coincidence. I may have left it a bit late to get information. I would really like to have thanked her for the help she gave me in my early years of education. When you are young you don't think to say "thank you". Thanks for your input, Jackr.

Noooo No! Miss Speakman's first name was Celia. She died a few years back. Beryl was surely Mrs Bateman,the P E teacher. Shirley who though?,hmm. Wasn't Mrs Halsall, the Science teacher was it?

Thanks Gez. I thought I'd left it a bit late to say thanks to a teacher who made a difference.

No Mrs Shirley Art who then married the pottery guy Mr Wylie
