Great Ashgrove Memorabilia Mixup

"Oh No! Strawberry the house cow got into the vegie garden again."

 "And, when Mum and the kids ran out to chase it back into the paddock, the dog ran inside and knocked all of the Ashgrove history photos and memorabilia onto the floor."

 "They're in a terrible mess. Better work out which photos go with objects before Mum gets back."

"Can you help me please?"

"Here's the photos. Can you work out which history memorabilia objects go with which photo?"

    1. Did you go to school with a Gloria Joyce (b. 26/04/1941) or Valerie Jean Moore (b. 20/01/1944)? Gloria admitted to Oakleigh School in 24th August 1948, Valerie admitted 24th January 1949.
      They lived with their mother Joyce May Moore nee Platford (b. 1921?) at 106 Ashgrove Ave, which was also a fruit shop run by Clifford James Moore (1889-1966). Their father, Stanley Moore (1908-1994), also had this as his address but mostly lived at "Redcliffe Rd, Kallangur". Joyce, Valerie and Gloria lived with Alma Mary Moore nee Washbourne (1903-1983) and her daughter Beryl Maud (1928-2007) and sons Clifford James (1931-1947) and Ronald Moore (b.1936).
