Hi Nichola, Ancestors I am researching went to a school called Violet Hill Academy (Roman Catholic) during 1880's in Newry. This was an all boys boarding school. It is now called St. Colman's College. I haven't been able to find any school records but you could look at this website and it may be the school you are looking for. _http://www.stcolmans.org.uk/_ (http://www.stcolmans.org.uk/) Although it states "college" in its title, it is a grammar school. Also try: _http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Colman's_College,_Newry_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Colman's_College,_Newry) Muriel **************Start the year off right.
