And yes, my relatives did indeed go to the C of E school in Bream.

Took me a while to work it out, but with lots of great help from great people on here, I finally did.

The admission records from Bream Infants' says that two of the four children transferred from the Infants to the C of E in 1921 and 1925. The other two girls went to the girls' department in 1927. This Aussie was a bit baffled. Then from one of the links on here I read that in 1927 the Bream council school was reorganised to take junior girls and infants and the C of E school was left with junior boys. So that was why Phyl and Allan went to the C of E while Winnie and Renee didn't. Little things like that are so helpful in putting a complete picture together.

Thanks again. Much appreciated.
