Family of Kathleen E Atkinson / M Heap

A very pleasant gentleman has recently written to me about a property on Bradford Street that we rent and in reference to a book he has found in his mothers belongings, unfortunately the trail has run cold at this address.

His letter and request are self explanatory below, its strikes me as a lovely thing he is trying to do and if anyone can help I’m sure he will be exceptionally grateful.

CAN YOU HELP?

I am trying to trace the family of Kathleen E Atkinson who studied at Sheffield Teacher Training College in 1926 with my mother Alice Unwin (nee Kenyon), and Freda Marshal.
Amongst my mother's belongings I have found a book which rightly belongs to Kathleen Atkinson which she compiled whilst on teacher training (it is a beautiful handwritten book, and there is also a fine needlework sampler)

The only contact I have found is the name M Heap, 45 Bradford St., Accrington which is written inside the cover of the book.

I am hoping that someone in the area may recognise either of the names and get in touch.
My email address is foxdown @talktalk.net

Thank you very much.

John Unwin

Mary Heap was the headmistress of Peel Park Infant School in the late 1940s. She is no longer alive unfortunately. She never married, and I am not aware of any relatives.

I'm holding my hand up. Mary it is. She's not in the book either

Retlaw's sentence should read: That's strange, seeing as they are referring to a Mary Heap.

Ah yes, 'Miss Heap' ... lovely, kind lady. I never knew her christian name though. Thanks for the memory, Balbus.
