My mum, Honora Maguire at the time, is seated front centre; with her older sister, Margaret, immediately behind
Here is another photo of Honora and Margaret (both on the right) which, I believe, was taken near to their house in Plantation Road.
Margaret lived in Huncoat and married a gentleman called Harold but I'm sad to say that I've left it too late to find out anything more about them, except that they moved to Towneley Avenue.

I was born in 1944 at 79 Plantation St Accrington. My father, Robert Maguire was born in 1917 at 44 Grange Lane Accrington. He was a machinist at a munition works. His mother, Honora Maguire was a cotton weaver.
Is there any connection?
