Hi, I, too, have a Geo.W.Holden photograph of 30 boys and I think one young teacher with Pen Aury Calon Wir at the top and Pennoyre House, Swansea at the bottom right. The photograph was in Grace BRAY's photo album where she has written, 'My brother Charlie at Hull School' and Hull is where she and the family lived, although Grace came to Australia to marry Charles ROBERTSON. The boy in the photo is Charles Grimston BRAY. His sisters Grace and Edith were teachers before they married and he also had two other sisters, Annie Gertrude and Ethel Eugenie. His father Charles BRAY was a Head & Collector of Gas A/ts and also a Merchant's Clerk, a Clerk of the Deacons Court of Holderness Road English Presbyterian Church, and he died at 33 years of appendecitis with a probate of £200. Charles Grimston himself died in China in 1923. Perhaps that background of one of the boys attending that school gives some clues about the school.
