Date: 1937


I assume you are aware of who this is? It is of course John Donkin Dormand (1919 - 2003) who succeeded Manny Shinwell as MP for Easington, rose to become Labour Chief Whip and eventually went into the House of Lords as Lord Dormand of Easington. He was born at Haswell, educated at Wellfield A J Dawson Grammar School as well as other illustrious seats of learning such as Oxford University. The date of 1937 would seem to be correct as he would then be 18.
