I am seeking information on Alpha Drive Central School, Rock Ferry, I believe that it was later renamed Kirklands. It was badly damaged during the war, and I think that it has since been demolished. I wonder if any photographs or records have survived. Perhaps someone can remember an old pupil Stanley Mathews, (not the footballer) his parents might have been caretakers of the school. I would be most grateful for any information. Best wishes Marjorie Mealor Australia

Hi Marjorie You could try the following two things: Carol, of Tree Tops, The Free FAMILY TREE & WE'LL MEET AGAIN SERVICE http://freespace.virgin.net/tree.tops is hosting a special School Friend week, aimed at those seeking those Friends we have lost touch with. Send your message of not more than 40 words including a postal address (for the benefit of those not on email) and email address to tree.tops@virgin.net There is also a UK-Schools list ran by Kim Berwick, her wonderful website is down at the moment, as her server was US based, but hopefully it will be back up soon. If not it might be worth dropping her a line. The address for the schools list is UK-schools-L@rootsweb.com Hope that helps Regards Julie Goucher anglers.rest@virgin.net http://freespace.virgin.net/genealogical.collections Fax & Voice Mail (+44) 0870 130 5474 --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
