Thank you so much for taking the time to look this up for me, John. I guess it's back to the drawing board - and not for the first time!

However, it was only produced from the records which were in existence, and information from the period you wanted may not have been complete; and as Lou suggests, there were some private schools for girls around at that time, but I'm not aware of any that existed in Stamford, let alone any surviving records. > > > John > > > ________________________________ > From: Louis Mills <[email protected]> > To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > Sent: Saturday, 1 February 2014, 19:56 > Subject: Re: [LIN] 18th & 19thc School Records > > > Girls were often schooled during this period.

Would you happen to know the names of other schools in the town for the same period?

I will ask him to look in the book to see if any Benthams are listed around that time. If there is a mention, the only information it will give is the years when the boy was at the school. We also have a copy of "The History of Stamford School" published in the 1950s (I think), which may or may not be of use. >> John > _______________________________ >> From: Jane Powell <[email protected]> >> To: [email protected] >> Sent: Saturday, 1 February 2014, 12:48 >> Subject: [LIN] 18th & 19thc School Records >> >> I'm back researching my BENTHAM family from STAMFORD.
