  • 1930 choir photo: our aunt and uncle were Ethel Williams and Frank Nichols. Possibly the other Williams boys may have been two of our other three uncles Harry, John and Sidney Williams. Ethel married Frank Nichols at the same church Nov 25 1933. A family photo from then shows a number of the choir at the wedding which, by this time, also had our father Leslie Williams aged 10 years old as a member of the choir; so there was quite a long connection with the church.

  • My father Leslie Williams was in the choir and I believe the ones in the photos are his brother and sister, Ethel and Harry. If you have any latest info of the choir, my family and I would be very interested.

  • Great to see my Grandfather, Alfred Hawks, on the photo.  I remember many of the other names mentioned. See  Alfred Hawks – A Hadleigh School Master
