I also went to the Holy Name school but it was on Dover St. and was co-ed until you were 11 then boys went into the upper classes and girls must have gone to Burlington St? The convent on Dover St. was used for school dinners and the gardens had Statues.
The trouble is as girls change their surname when married it becomes very difficult to trace their origins.
My playing areas were: Upper Brook St, Brunswick St, Clifford St, Booth St, Grafton St, Plymouth Grove, Portsmouth St etc.
I lived near the Glass works "Charles Lightfoot" on Upper Brook St
Our Rag and Bone man either gave you a balloon on a cane or a goldfish in a bag!
I have found that everywhere seemed much bigger as a child.
I am 71 now and I can still remember most of my school day pals, but I have trouble remembering what I did yesterday.
