Hi List I have a person who may be one of my rellies in the 1881 census , the street address was listed just as birmingham boarding school, the rellie was listed as a boarder aged 13. Where was this school and what was it , a correctional or fee paying school. gary hodge

Can you give us the page reference so that we can look at the original? That might give some more clues.

Hi Gary The enumeration description page is missing so there is no name to the School in 1881, its listed as in Birmingham St Thomas However looking for the Headmaster in 1871 he is with the same secretary at the Blue Coat Charity School I do not know the local history so not sure if both places are the same or the school moved in between or what? Or its just a coincidence that both head and secretary moved at the same time? There is a little on it here http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/WAR/deloyd/bluecoat.html Penned by Robert DeLloyd who I am sure I saw unsubbing recently?

Hi Anne, Birmingham Boarding school ref. on 1881 Census is PRO Ref: RG11 2979 Folio 1. Page 1. Birmingham library did not think it was anything to the Blue Coat School. Looking either side (Resource File Viewer) the Streets shown on either side are Fordrough St, and Ann St. somewhere in the area of Colmore Row. I think but am not sure that it was a Fee Paying School.

Hi Gary, I also have one of my rellies at the Birmingham Boarding School in 1881. I went to Birmingham Library and they could not help as they have no records for it, but it may be worth trying again. Also I posted a message to the list and unfortunately got no replies perhaps you may have better luck.
