Hi Chris There is a parish in Cornwall called St Neot. Could it mean they were from there? Perhaps you could get the film of the original records from the LDS and check is that is in fact what is written - sometimes it is hard to read the writing.

Thank You List for your replies in answering my query. The printout I have has been transcribed as N E O T not M E O T Thus after spending many hours trying to solve I thought I would post my query on my favourite List having been a member since 1998 Jon had I been subscribed to a London List I certainly would have posted my query there I assumed that perhaps one of the members would be far more knowledgeable than I & be able to help & I assumed correctly If at any time anyone has a query regarding Australian place names or any other queries only too pleased to help Hope that everyone has a great 2013 Regards Chris

Hello Ray The Admission Records would show dates of birth, date began at that school possibly date left and where to and names of parent or guardian plus address and sometimes reason for leaving also sometimes previous school. I don't think the records are online. Records should be in Gwent Record Office in Merthyr if they have been kept safely. You can e mail the record office and ask if they have the relevant ones . I have always found them helpful.
