Who were the Prudhoe Gleemen in 1927 ?  Please scroll down.
 

We recently discovered a list of names glued to the back of a framed print (reproduced here).
Our thanks to Dick and Norma Robinson for drawing this to our attention.
We think we can identify all but seven of the members in this ancient line-up. Can you help?

Who were the secret seven six ?


We were able to enlarge and enhance the original print to get these close-ups.

Numbers 5 & 6 look as if they may belong to the same family (brothers, perhaps?).  Also, we think there is some facial resemblance between numbers 3 & 7.

Do you have any old family photographs that may help us identify these gentlemen? If so, we would love to hear from you.

UPDATE - No 6 on the right (No 50 in the main picture)
has now been identified as:
William Leslie Musgrave
-  thanks to Robin Musgrave for the family details
