Hi, My great grandmother was a LUNN and my husband's great grandmother was also a LUNN. I am currently trying to stay focused on WOOD and I have done some work on LUNN in the past as I was hoping to find a relationship between the two great grandmother's. I probably can now that I have access to so much more data through Ancestry.com. A quick check gives her as Edith LUNN born 1868 in Linthwaite daughter of Joseph LUNN born 1839. I do in fact have a database on LUNN (it is a long time since I did it and it isn't complete) so I would welcome more details. We may have a connection or I may be able to offer more help. Just heading off to bed at the moment as it is after midnight but would like to follow up on this one.

Many thanks to Judith, Jean Terry, Roy & Andy. Roy I did in fact Google (which is how I found the spelling) but as pointed out I really didn't learn much about the school itself. I am presuming that my Dad (Sidney Dodson) would have attended the school around 1925 -1930. Does anyone know if there is a history of Royds School one could obtain? Cathy

Hi, You stayed at the school you were attending until you was 15 when you left. Trade schools were popular. It was a way of separating people into work skill areas to some extent. Those who were not considered clever enough to pass their 11 + were blue collar workers, tradespeople, unskilled workers and those who went onto a higher education were expected to become professionals or white collar workers. Of course it didn't work out that way. We spent several weeks attending after school lessons by a dedicated teacher anxious to coach us in the style of the 11+. It was similar in many ways to the quiz books one can buy. It wasn't a true test of ones ability but rather suited those who could master these tests easily. It wasn't a good thing at all as it segregated and left some (often boys) feeling they weren't good enough. My husband didn't pass his 11+ yet he had the top model of his Apprenticeship year at Leeds and he passed his Trade certificate. I left school on my 15th Birthday (which happened to be just before Christmas) because I decided I wanted to work in an Office and I couldn't learn Shorthand and Typing at the school I was in and I didn't feel my parents could afford a non worker anyway.. After coming to Australia in 1966, married with 2 children I applied for a position at our trade school teaching typing and office skills and from that I was encouraged to do my Bachelor of Education and I have a High School Teaching Certificate with a major in English and History. (and I never went teaching again once I had the paper qualifications because life circumstances sent me in a different direction). My husband is a capable speaker and he is a very intelligent man particularly gifted in anything practical and he is also computer literate. The scars from those early school days are very real in many men in particular who did not enjoy school and were only too happy to move on.. Here in Australia we have school for all moving from entry to Year 12 and then on to Uni or college and these days you can't even leave school until you are 16 and they are trying to raise this to 17 yet nothing has been done to make school appear any more relevant to many of the students who don't want to go to Uni and we scream out that we have a skill shortage as there is nothing done to train. Hopefully this is changing. As I started off saying my grandchildren have no idea that what seems normal to them was a privilege to us and my parents. Jean in S.

Hi Roy, We lived at Linthwaite when I took the 11+ (as we called it), My parents operated a Fish and Chip Shop but after a couple of weeks of commuting by bus my parents completed the purchase of a house in Quarmby about 1 bus stop from the school. We were offered a choice of 3 schools based on ones grades and also what curriculum they offered. One of the problems I experienced was that moving into the district I knew no one locally and the local kids regarded the grammar school kids with suspicion and no one in the area actually went to the school. I marvel as I do genealogy at how relatively recent the education system we took so much for granted was. Every child went to school until age 15. In the late 1800s being able to go to school was such a privilege for the majority. I've been learning such a lot about the earlier history of the clothing industry in Golcar. Our ancestors seem to have been there for several generations (I'm back to 1717 at the moment) and acquired land and operated their clothing business as a family affair. Even the families they married into reflect this. The top level of the houses with their tiny windows were a kind of clothing factory with family members living lower down in units which don't seem to have been divided into individual houses until the 1851 census. Prior to this families seem to have occupied various rooms and shared some rooms in common. Jean in S.

Jean, I notice you mention that your family has their roots in the clothing industry in Golcar. Don't know if you have run across the name of LUNN? A daughter of my G G G grandfather married a Joseph LUNN in 1840 in Huddersfield. Joseph was the son of George LUNN a Clother. Joseph gave his occupation as Tailor.

Hi It was Royds Hall Grammar School, located just above Paddock and below Quarmby, it was built on farm land once owned by the Quarmby family. I went there in 1952 and later by the time my brother went it was no longer a Grammar School but rather a general high school as the system had changed by then. A Prime minister of Britain Harold Wilson once went there. We had a school song called "40 years on" and one had to be virtually 51 before this became even relevant.

Thank you for your help in looking for George Hield although it was unsuccessfull. I have subscribed to the ENG-EAST-YORKS-L@rootsweb.com mail list, I think this that is the list for Scarborough. My Hields were in West Yorkshire in 1841 but before that they were associated with Escrick,Willberfloss and Weldrake which i think come under East Yorkshire. The family had strong connections to the methodist church. In 1845 one Hield family emigrated to America settling in Winsconsin. I have been sent a family tree which includes detailes of the journey, there is also reference to a letter from Wesley (the methodist minister) who was a friend of the Cordeux family. Edward and Hield and Mary Corduex were married in Boswell Church on 19 Sep 1819 but i have been unable to find out where this was. Thanks again.
