Appeal for help in identifying Hadley family members

Reader and former Hadleyite Trish Schmitz (nee Brown) is appealing for help from anyone who may recognise anyone in the pictures below.

Trish's family, the Browns, have lived in Hadley since the 1860s. The photo's below, which came into Trish's possession following the death of a Hadley-born family member in Hadley a few years ago, were all taken late 1800's - 1920's. One is a 1920's Hadley school photo,  another was taken by a Hadley photographer and all are marked on the reverse with the words 'family unknown'.

Trish says: "The Brown's were all generations of Shropshire people, living around Hadley, Ketley, Red Lake and Shifnal. Names related to them were Grice, Spruce, Griffiths, Jones, Hazlewood.

"I am hoping that someone will recognise some of these people and I will be able to fill in the blanks."

Anyone with information is asked to first .
