Any further information? |

On carrying out a little family history I learned that my great-great-grandfather, born either 1812 or 1816 depending on which record I consult, was at various times a station-master, clerk, bailiff in charge of a farm and a school-master. The latter occupation had his wife, my great etc., as a school mistress in the 1871 census. Does anyone know of a book or archive concerned with education in the city at that time? |
