Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Gordon, based on what you've said so far, is your surname Perks ? Or do you have any Clifton connections ? When I was at Greencroft Junior School on Clifton in the mid-60s there was a boy called Gordon Perks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

annswabey 599 Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Can you post a copy of the certificate on here? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

banjo48 928 Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 One of my old work colleagues had the surname Duke, his first name was Reg and he had a brother Stephen I think, his mum and dad lived in Clifton from memory. When I worked with him he lived just off top of Carlton Hill. I'm still on FB with him as he now lives in the Phillipines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 This might come as a surprise to Gordon. Greencroft Junior School in 1965, and the person I remember as Gordon Perks is on the back row, top left. And I'm in there as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
