Hi all, i am very interested in schools as extra imformation on my ancestors.I recently tracked a school in my area ( Devon) through the census returns 1841-1891.and discovered a lot about the owners who also had a sister school 50 miles away run by other members of the same family.My local record office however have no records on it, presumably because it was a private school,they did however have the local church run school records.Birkenhead may of course be different,and i would also be interested to know if ,or what records exist. annabelle@sutton86.fsnet.co.uk
