G'day list Is there anyone out there who (a) knows what schools existed in the Pontypool district between 1880 and 1890 and (b) what would have happened to their records? My grandparents would have attended school there some time between 1882 and 1890. It would help me greatly if I could find out about their schooling. Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Ray. I wouldn't of thought records from that time were kept. Unless one of them like one of mine were lucky enough to be in an orphanage and ind. school. I would imagine the reords were incinerated. Kevin Co Cork. Ireland.

Hi Listers, School log books are often kept in County Record Offices. Some Victorian log books may even still be in schools. When the Mid-Glamorgan school, in which I was teaching, had its centenary, in 1978, I remember seeing the school log book from those times.
