Old Irish School Records on my web site at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jeanmccarthy36 At last I have started posting my old school records on my web site. They are very old and hard to read accurately. Sometimes they are indecipherable. It is a very long slow process so please be patient with me. I will keep adding to them just as quickly as I can. They cover schools in Belfast, Holywood, Cultra and surrounding areas. The dates are from 1868—1898. I will post them in the order I found them on the films with the year clearly indicated for each school and batch of records. The first few records are a bit sparse on information but generally they give, Name of the school, Date of Entry, Register Number, Pupil's Name, Age of Pupil last birthday, Religious Denomination, Residence, Occupation or means of living of parents. I have included all the children who were on the register and not just my names of interest. I hope this might be of interest and that at least some of you will find it helpful to your research. Kindest Regards. Jean McCarthy nee Moore. Staffordshire, England. My own main names of interest: MOORE, (Ireland, Canada & Australia) BOWDEN, (Ireland, New Zealand, Tasmania & Australia) HAWTHORNE. (Ireland and Pennsylvania) In Co Down, Co Armagh & Co Antrim Ireland: McCALLISTER, McAULEY, FLINN/FLYNN, STRAIN, SPRATT, McCLENAGHAN, KENNEDY.
