My cousins Joyce and Eileen Fulford are there. Joyce has since passed away. Baby Terry is not shown. Son of Violet Elizabeth Fulford. Any memories of him! Born November 1944.
No 46, I think, is Tony Freeman. Additional information, in case it is of any use – Tony was the brother of Connie Freeman who married Charlie Finch.
