A Bill for the Term 1931


In 1931 Mr CC Braithwaite received an invoice from Mr Pilkington-Rogers, head of Retford Grammar School, for the costs incurred in teaching his son Clarence Braithwaite for one term (£4 15s 1d). Using these sparse facts, I have built a family tree for young Clarence which may be of interest. Perhaps someone who knows the family can correct my errors. A distant photo of young Clarence appears on the 1933 School Panorama at position 39. Clarence did particularly well in Spring Term 1935, gaining several prizes in Form 1Vb.

                  BRAITHWAITE

Two BRAITHWAITE brothers
married two COLLINS sisters in
1913 and 1915. They lived in 
the Doncaster area for 10 
years, producing 9 children. 
This makes it very difficult 
to decide which child connects
to which parents. I can find no
direct connection between Mary
Eliza, Frances and Ann Elizabeth
COLLINS.
