Alan...there was a girl in my class at Mary St by the name of Dianne Monnington, I am not sure where in Balsall Heath she lived, but I believe that she had two cousins that lived at the lower end of Sherbourne Rd. They may have been twins? they looked alike, with short blonde hair, and both had pierced ears, which was unusual for youngsters at that time. (late 50s) I don't know if they are related to your monningtons, just thought you might like to know. Did you have a sister or sisters Alan?
