ONE of this group of choirboys and servers at St Luke’s Church in Hawkshead Street went on to become a policeman.
John Gregson was about 10 years old when he was captured here on film around 1950, standing at the centre of the second row from the front.
He later served in Southport Borough Police Force between 1962 and 1973, before it was absorbed into the newly-created Merseyside Constabulary.
Mr Gregson has now started to compile a family tree and wants to get in touch with anyone who recognises themselves in this old photo.
He said: “After marrying Mavis Deegan, of Old Park Lane, in 1964 we lived for a while at 59 Tulketh Street – which was later demolished, but I believe that the gate stumps are still in situ!” In 1973, Mr Gregson was transferred to Thames Valley Police, where he was promoted to sergeant and stationed at Crowthorne/Sandhurst police office.
If you can help with Mr Gregson’s genealogical research, write to him at: 2 Nightingale Gardens, Sandhurst, Berkshire GU47 9DQ, or email: jc.gregson@googlemail.com
