Can anyone identify any of these children?  Some of them appear in the next School photo.

We know the names of the two younger ladies and the older boy in the picture, because they all appear in the 1901 Census as pupil teachers. The boy centre back was Thomas John Woolford who was 15 in 1901, and lived with his family at Great Claydons Lodge, his father, Charles Woolford, being a coachman. The young lady on the left with blonde hair , Emily Baker, was aged 17 in 1901 and lived with her parents James and Ann Baker at the Horse Shoes Inn.  The young lady with dark hair, Alice M.M. Downes was also aged 17 and lived with her family at Willis Farm.
