Dear Listers, I am posting this in the hope that someone may be able to help me. My mother,maiden name,Mary Edith Smith was the youngest child of Richard and Annie(nee Byrne) was born at Tingha NSW in 1906.Information that I have leads me to believe that she attended Stannifer Public School and seeing as she was born in 1906 I would think that she started there around 1911/12. What I am looking for is anything relating to this school from around that time such as pupil lists or photos of pupils or anything that relates to the shool from this time.I have been in touch with NSW Education Dept.and they have nothing that can help me,so I am hoping that there may be a lister who has some amoungst there family history even something that refers to this Smith family from Tingha. Heres hoping, Lloyd Carson

Hi Lloyd, State Records of NSW has an Administrative File on Stannifer School 1906-1939 [file no. 5/17677.1]. They didn't have to keep school enrolment lists and there is not usually much info on pupils or their courses of study in these files, or photos, but it might be worth following up for any background on the history of the school at that time. Check out www.records.nsw.gov/au. Go to S for Schools in the A-Z Index and follow the links from there. HTH Judy.
