Hello, Are there any young ladies out there that went to Cleethorpes Girls
Grammer School in the 60' and 70':

I am trying to find a photo of the Headmistress Miss Dorothy Vallins born
1912 in Sevenoaks Kent died 1992 Grimsby Lincs:

There is a group photo on Friends Reunited of the Teachers 1972/73
but it is to small to see any detail:

D.Vallins is a cousin of mine once removed: can anyone help?

Ray,

You would be better to leave a message on the FR page asking if anyone has a better copy of the photo.

After all, you have a captive audience on there - the very group of people who are likely to have the photo and would be able to pass it on to you.

You may well also find people who actually knew her and would be able to pass on some other info to you.

Best of luck,

Dea x

Hello Raymond,

If you put Dorothy's name and details into the Search Trees box above, you will see that two other people have her in their tree. It may be worth contacting them to see if they can help you. Regards. Cx.
