Alford Image Library

Have I got it wrong but I remember Miss Jamica as Catrina Campbell whose 2 brothers, Alan and Callum went to Alford school and stayed with us in winter as they lived in Corgarff. If there were 2 Miss Jamica's at Tullynessle, I apologise. Really enjoy the old photos.

The Barnetts lived at the old schoolhouse Tullynessle at one time anyway. Alison had a brother Alan I remember him from my days in the Alford scouts.

Could be the same person, probably her married name was Barnett. Her husband was a teacher at the school for a short time but went home to Jamica when Catroni sadly died very young.

Alison's dad, Coledridge, was an English teacher at Alford. I believe you had to be unmarried to enter miss world.

I think now that Alison is Carinas daughter

I've come to the conclusion that we are indeed talking of two different families. It is strange coincidence that both had connections with Tullynessle and Jamica. Look forward to more old Alford photos. Babs Beaton

Thought a lot about this one and think I have to give you an apology Al, Catrina went away in the 60's and the photo is 80's so it has to be her daughter.
