Irene moved to Teall’s Yard (now Teall Croft) off Dale Street around 1917 to begin life with her new family. Mary (nee Cooper) her mother had been widowed when George William Fynn was killed at the Battle of Loos in 1915. Irene likely started school on her third birthday. The school was short walk away from Teall’s Yard. Irene was a bright pupil and would go on to pass the entrance exam for Ossett Girls’ Grammar School and the support of a scholarship. She probably left on her fifteenth birthday (1929) to begin work in domestic service.
