12- Miss Adelaide Watt who had All Saints Church for her 21st Birthday whilst living at Speke Hall. Miss watt was the last land owner to live at Speke before it was sold off for housing. I was fortunately and very kindly given this picture by Speke Hall. It is taken from a book of Congratulatory messages from all her estate workers and their families for her brithday and is seldom seen as the book is now becoming fragile.

22 - PCC of 1916: From left, back row - Billy Wyke, possibly another Wyke, ???, ???, Richard Leadbetter, George Wyke

Second row - Mr Quint, ???, Rev Paterson, Mr Lea, Mr Leadbetter Senior
Front row - Jim Latham, Richard Leadbetter Junior, Mr Smith (School Master) Sam Taylor
There is a note on the back of this photograph -'Richard Leadbetter top row is Aunt Maggie's son, two sisters married two brothers.' Aunt Maggie must have been a Leadbetter so I am making the assumption that these names were written by a Leadbetter too.

Henry received his MBE in the 1960's and is also on the Photographs page 3 in photos 5 and 6. Henry lived in Speke until he died in the early 1980's.
