Good Afternoon!

I wonder if any of your readers might be able to help me? I am presently doing some research into the life of Owen Franklin who was organist at Doncaster Parish Church from 1947 until 1957. He formed the Doriah Choir and coached a succession of quality boy choristers until he left Doncaster to become Director of Music at Heathfield School, Ascot and Ascot Parish Church.
If any of your readers remember Mr Franklin I would love to hear from them. I would particularly like to obtain a photograph of him and also if anyone remembers his son and knows of his whereabouts that would be even better!

Many Thanks
