Hi David, Sorry it as taken so long to reply but every time I sat down to answer I got interrupted. Thank you so much for the information I am now going to ask a Friend of mine if she can look at the plaque for me. regards James David Kenny <dakenny@ozemail.com.au> wrote: Hi James, On the Fiche I found a note that there's a Bronze Plaque inside the Church to a Stephen J. Blocksidge. Unfortunately it does not provide details of what's on the Plaque. Also there are two entries for a Susannah Blocksidge who died on 20 August 1874, aged 69, and a Joseph Blocksidge who died on 21 December 1877, Aged 73. I hope this helps... certainly a pity it does not say anything about the details for Stephen Blocksidge Plaque, other then it exists.. most annoying..

Found This at project Getenberg, at http://www.gutenberg.org/files/14472/14472-h/14472-h.htm#Birm8 - Showell's dictionary of Birmingham Thought you might be interested. Blue Coat School (facing St. Phillip's Churchyard) founded in 1721, and was erected in 1724, provision having been made in the Act for building St. Philip's Church for securing the necessary land required for the school for a term of 1,000 years at 10s. per year. The first cost of the building was about £3,000, but many alterations and extensions have since been made thereto, the quaint little statues in the front being put up in 1770; they are the work of Mr. Edward Grubb, and are said to have been portraits of two of the children then actually in the school. The first bequest recorded is that of Mrs. Elizabeth White, who in 1722 left nearly 30 acres of land worth about £250 per year for the support of the school. In 1726 Benjamin Salusbury left 30s. per year for the preaching of a sermon at St. Martin's and St. Philip's, and a further 40s. per year as a subscription; as did also Thomas Dunscombe in 1729. In 1795 the Lord of the Manor presented the school with a slice of Birmingham Heath, above five acres in extent, which is now let on a long lease at £96 10s. per year. In 1806 other land was devised, and from time to time considerable sums have been invested in like manner and in consols, so that a fair income is derived from these sources, in addition to the voluntary and annual subscriptions, but judging from the past and the admirable way in which the funds have been administered it may be truly said that if the income were doubled or trebled so would be the benefits in like proportion. At first opening 22 boys and 10 girls were admitted, and 10 others of each sex were taught and clothed; the latter system, however, had many inconveniences, and was soon discontinued. At present the average number is 150 boys and 100 girls on the original foundation, 20 being paid for out of Fentham's Trust. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pauline Roberts" <secserve@wilnecote.fsbusiness.co.uk> To: <eng-warks-birmingham@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2006 10:56 AM Subject: Re: [B'ham] Birmingham Boarding School > Hi Nivard > > Well, you might not have thought I was going mad, but I certainly did!! > > I have certainly found this most interesting, because it is easy to think > that the only schooling was either National Schools or the Sunday Union > Schools, before the Education Act was passed. > > I knew a little about Blue Coat Schools because when I was boarding in > Stourbridge we used to have to pass the Stourbridge Blue Coat School on > our > way into Town, and I knew that was fee paying and extremely expensive - > but > that is all I knew. > > I will take a look at the sites you mention later on today - I have not > got > a particular interest in schools as it has never been necessary, but it's > information always worth knowing for a later date, and again, if I find a > person missing I will now know where to look. > > Regards > > Pauline > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Nivard Ovington" <ovington1@btconnect.com> > To: <eng-warks-birmingham@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Sunday, November 26, 2006 10:58 PM > Subject: Re: [B'ham] Birmingham Boarding School > > >> Hi Pauline >> >> Now I had not thought for a moment that you were going mad <g> >> >> This little exercise has been quite interesting, despite the fact that it >> started on a false premise :-) >> >> Its also been interesting finding out about the Blue Coat Schools of >> which >> there were many, it was not the only School system of its type either. >> >> In the search for information I came across the following two books >> >> http://www.gutenberg.org/files/18821/18821.txt >> >> http://www.gutenberg.org/files/13926/13926-8.txt >> >> I suspect they have been mentioned before on this list but for those who >> have not read them I would recommend a peek (project Gutenberg is free) >> >> With regard to your comment that there were possibly children staying at >> that or any school overnight, its also worth remembering that some >> institutions (Hospitals/Asylums for example) only enumerated the initials > of >> the person/patient.

Hi again I thought I would just clarify that the two links that I sent previously with reference to Project Gutenberg are for two e books, you can read online or download as you wish. One is the recollections of Old Birmingham which is interesting and the other is An History of Birmingham 1783 Which anyone with Birmingham links will find interesting Project Gutenberg has around 19,000 titles and a search engine, there are other Birmingham books listed (as there are for just about anywhere) http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page I have found it best to scroll down a little on the Main Page and select Advanced Search, and enter search words in the "Full Text" box Once a title of interest is found you can either read it online or download, most in HTML (with pictures) or plain text Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) Admin for OVINGTON - HAYLOCK - SEYMOUR Lists > I will take a look at the sites you mention later on today - I have not > got > a particular interest in schools as it has never been necessary, but it's > information always worth knowing for a later date, and again, if I find a > person missing I will now know where to look. > > Regards > > Pauline >> In the search for information I came across the following two books >> >> http://www.gutenberg.org/files/18821/18821.txt >> >> http://www.gutenberg.org/files/13926/13926-8.txt >> >> I suspect they have been mentioned before on this list but for those who >> have not read them I would recommend a peek (project Gutenberg is free)

Hi Nivard Well, you might not have thought I was going mad, but I certainly did!! I have certainly found this most interesting, because it is easy to think that the only schooling was either National Schools or the Sunday Union Schools, before the Education Act was passed. I knew a little about Blue Coat Schools because when I was boarding in Stourbridge we used to have to pass the Stourbridge Blue Coat School on our way into Town, and I knew that was fee paying and extremely expensive - but that is all I knew. I will take a look at the sites you mention later on today - I have not got a particular interest in schools as it has never been necessary, but it's information always worth knowing for a later date, and again, if I find a person missing I will now know where to look.

Hello George I was surprised to find that this street was in the district of All Saints, as the 1891 census puts it in St Pauls. St Paul's makes sense, because it is some 500 yards from St Paul's Church, and about a mile from All Saints. Even Key Hill (the street, not the cemetery) is in the district of St Pauls (I have used the Rates Books for Key Hill) and Key Hill is only a stone's throw from All Saints. I wonder if this is an error in the transcription? There are no courts left there, but would you like me to take a photograph for you? I am near Northwood Street next week, for a meeting.

Hi Gina I would recommend the following http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/RdLeaflet.asp?sLeafletID=18 Sadly only about one third of records survived (my grandfathers was one that did not) There are many more helpful guides in the research guide listing on the National Archives :- http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/researchguidesindex.asp On the National Archives you may be able to find his medal entitlement card which although sparse in detail will give clues as to his length of service and most importantly his service number and regt, armed with that you may be able to find his service records (given they survived of course) if you locate his card you can download it for 3.50gbp The service records are not available online so a visit or paid researcher is needed. I am not sure but think they may also be available at an LDS FHS Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) Admin for OVINGTON - HAYLOCK - SEYMOUR Lists > Hi > As anyone had success in finding their ancestors WW1 army records > If so I would be glad of any advice & tips > Cheerio > Gina
