IRVING YATES

(YEAR AT SCHOOL - circa 1934)

Mags Drummond is seeking information about her Father  Irving Graham Yates

Irving lived with his mother, Katie Yates, and siblings Joan, Jack, Frederick and Henrietta at 104 Warwick Road, Ealing W5.

He went to school in Ealing in the twenties and thirties & may have gone to ‘Ealing Central School’, which she understands later became Walpole Grammar, or to Ealing County School for Boys.

The photo, from around 1934, shows him wearing a blazer with a badge which seems to say ‘E S with a small C in between’.

Could be the school badge from this era?

Her Father was an accomplished swimmer and diver at the Ealing Swimming Club, so it’s also possible this could be a blazer from there. The photo shows him being awarded a medal by the then Mayor and Mayoress.

If you have any information, please let me know and I will pass it on.
