    1. [YORKSGEN] NRY Police Records
    2. Graham Pearey via
    3. Following on from the recent discussions around police records, I would be grateful for advice on where records for the North Riding would be located. I had a quick look on internet and the national archives mention some information for the North Riding Constabulary is held at the Ripon Museums Trust and so I will contact them shortly. My interest is in relation to my grandfather who worked at Leyburn, Easingwold and Saltburn amongst other places from the 1940s onwards. Many thanks Graham

    3. Interesting site. Not easy to interpret and I assume this still doesn't include the birth parent of an adopted child? My sister had a son in the 1960s who was then adopted. She moved to Canada and although she doesn't want to make contact with her son she would like to know if he is still alive.

It helps them to know what's happening around them, to read and write letters, to add up their grocery bills, to read their Bibles/road signs/instructions everywhere, to gain in confidence, and to please their parents.

    3. I would have the same question, Margaret. My g-g-grandfather, Jonathan Hart, seemed to be of "farmer" stock. He was born at Oak House, Bilsdale in 1824 but in 1860 I find him as schoolmaster at the Ingleby-Greenhow School. He is there until 1871 when the family leaves for San Francisco - I have no clue why they left but perhaps because of the 1870 education act? I do know he knew Latin as he inscribed a Latin phrase on Ship's Rock not too far from Bilsdale. How did he learn that? I do find parish records of his parents in the Church of England but by 1890 he was Catholic and teaching at a Catholic Mission in Hawaii - did he convert there? Or is that why he left Yorkshire?

    3. Hi Pauline, My ancestors came from Skelton, just outside of York on the A19. Andrew Hume was the schoolmaster of Skelton for 35 years before he passed away in 1851. His father, was the schoolmaster at Shipton, and many descendants of Andrew have become teachers and schoolmasters. Years ago when investigating Andrew's school records I was helped by the lady who runs Skelton's Historical Group. She was good enough to supply me with some school records dating from 1851 onwards. I'm afraid I don't have any contact details, but as you live so close to Skelton, you might find the group. If you find anything about the HUME?Humes family I would appreciate and feedback regards John Hume Nottingham ----- Original Message ----- From: "pauline alden via" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 23, 2014 2:58 PM Subject: [YORKSGEN] pupil teachers > Does anybody know if pupil teachers were listed on school records? > > > > Thank you > > > > pauline alden > > 13 swann street > > York YO23 1AF > > > > > > --- > This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

One of my scholars is dead & several others are convalescent & not fit for School which makes it smaller than usual 25. 1885 Jan.20 School examined by HMI Mr COLSON. Report received 10 February 1885. “This little School is at present in a very backward state. Reading is poor,and Arithmetic quite untaught. Writing is the best taught subject, but it is far too small and cramped in style. Two class subjects have been most unwisely attempted, and had the time thus wasted been spent upon improving the far more important Elementary subjects, much more satisfactory results would probably have been obtained. The supply of desks is still quite insufficient and a due supply of suitable Reading Books must be obtained at once” Entered in the Log Book the same day J Moore LISTER MA (Correspondent) . Just going out to give the rose bed some fertiliser and, perhaps, pick some broad beans for tea. Cheers Mabel in NZ
