This one? Apparently closed 31 Aug 1996

Notre Dame RC School
Turners Hill Road
Pound Hill
Crawley
West Sussex

See if there is a page on Friendsreunited.

Try seaching all members trees for the various names. Remember that a school year runs Sep to Aug so their yob may be one different to yours.

Depending on your friend's yob, check for marriages on http://www.freebmd.org.uk/ then the ER either on this site or http://www.192.com/?gkw=192+com
Some may be on Facebook and other social media sites. Sometimes their names can come up on a google/internet search.

If you would like help to look for named individuals, start a thread on Find Living Relatives.

Its always interesting to find out how things have worked out, but depending on the length of time since they were last in contact, it could be like meeting a new person.

Friends Reunited is a much better site for finding old school friends


That's the reason FR was started back in 2002/2003

Have you tried Facebook

There may be either a Crawley interest page or even one for the old school friends.

Most schools now have a vets page.
