Hi Lynne: Since your Mary Callaghan was 15 years old in 1880, I'm guessing she would have been attending high school, but it's tough to say for sure. However, in 1879, the following high schools were in existence in Cleveland: Normal School - a training school for teachers Central High - on the east side West High - on the west side Since Broadway was on the east side, I would fathom a guess that a good starting place would therefore be Central High School. Just for your information, by 1906, the following high schools were in existence: Central High � E. 55th south of Cedar Avenue East High � E. 82nd at the corner of Decker Ave. Glenville High � 495 Parkwood Blvd. at the corner of Everton Lincoln Nigh � Scranton Road at the corner of Castle Ave. South High � Broadway opposite Fullerton Ave. West High � Franklin Ave. at the corner of W. 69th St. I hope that this helps a little. My cousin requested school records for the 1930 timeframe from the Cleveland Public Schools and was successful in getting some information for one of our ancestors, but they had nothing at all on another ancestor. So, getting school records is hit and miss. But, you might give it a try.

Laura: When your cousin requested the information from the Cleveland School district who did this person contact. The disctrict or a particular school? Nancy
