I spoke on your behalf and if you'd like to send details to them, I'm sure they will respond. best of luck. Dear Jill, I refer to your enquiry regarding Castle Howard Reformatory School. I confirm we hold admission registers for the school but unfortunately the first register does not start until 1894, the early register has not been deposited with us and its whereabouts are not known. The only document we have earlier than 1894 regarding pupils is a photograph album which does indicate the names of some of the boys. If you could provide the name of your relative I can check this for you. If you friend would like to contact us with the details of her ancestor who attended the school we can check to see if he was admitted after 1894 and also check the photograph album. I look forward to hearing from you with a name. Yours sincerely Mrs H Clark Treasure House Supervisor East Riding Archive and Local Studies Service County Hall Beverley HU17 9BA Tel: (01482) 392790 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
