This was a description of the type of school, rather than its actual name. In life it would be known by the name of its owner, probably a maiden lady (or a couple of them) or widow of respectable birth, running a school where young ladies learned 'accomplishments' rather than went in for any of this deep academic stuff. So unsettling for the dear child, you know. The lessons, apart from basic three Rs, would be a little French (not enough to read naughty novels, just enough to order food and dresses), a little piano playing, a little water colour painting (oils were too brash for ladies), deportment and how to handle servants. The school would probably not keep records (beyond receipts for fees for a time) and when the lady owner died, the school probably died too. You can see exactly what it would have been like by reading Thackeray's Vanity Fair, where the saucy Miss Sharp was an uneasy pupil at one. The parents must have been able to afford the fees (Becky Sharp, kep[t on as a sort of pupil teacher, was unusual) so that looking for their wills is a sensible move. The school will be listed in any Bedford Directory of the time as Miss de Bloggs, Ladies Seminary' and there will be an entry in the 1881 census with any children then boarding at the school (there may have been day pupils too). One thing to embellish the history, when you have found the likely name, if to get someone to look at the front page of a Bedford paper in any early January issue, when the local schools announced the beginning of term and also often stated exactly what subjects they offered. -- Eve McLaughlin Author of the McLaughlin Guides for family historians Secretary Bucks Genealogical Society

Hi Hilary I was interested in a comment you made viz "...school details from the archives.". Where are these archives? Can they be accessed on line?? I am trying to find details of a Biggleswade school. In the 1890 Kelly's directory, p 34, one of my rellies, Miss Emily Harriet Sandon, was the Infant's mistress at Biggleswade Board(formerly British) School, built in 1874 with 200 boys and 200 girls and 153 infants. Any clues/suggestions???

Hi to all I am new to this list and am hoping that someone can help me find some information on my 4x Great Grandfather, William GOODWIN. The information I have on William is listed below, and the assistance I am seeking (if possible) is a lookup of the Parish Records for Caddington for his birth/Christening record, in order to find his parents name. This in turn may help me find more of his family details. Name: William GOODWIN Christened: 27/03/1768 Parish: Caddington, Bedfordshire Religion: Church of England On 17 April 1790 he was convicted in the Stamford, Lincolnshire Quarter Sessions and sentenced to transportation to Australia for 7 years. He departed Yarmouth Roads Norfolk on 17 July 1791 on the ship PITT, and arrived in Sydney NSW on 14 February, 1792. Any assistance will be gratefully received. cheers Linda (Perth West Oz) BILLINGTON - Belgrave, Leicestershire BROWN - Middlesex, England DERRY - Belgrave, Leicestershire GODDARD - Kenilworth & Coventry,Warwickshire GOODWIN - Caddington, Lincolnshire HARRIS - Belgrave, Leicestershire KELLY - Armagh, Co.

Reg, I have searched the 1861 & 1871 national censuses but cannot find your Robert under either Hinsby or Hensby anywhere in the country.

Linda I can confirm what is on the IGI from the Parish Register if that's any help, there are other births recorded for John and Ann Goodwin if you would like me to send them on. Jane
