I am researching the history of the Havergal Memorial School in Limerick around 1880-1890s and wondered whether anyone has any general information on this particular school.

If would like information on the character that this school is named after, then I may be able to help! I assume its named after the hymnwriter Frances Ridley Havergal, who is my great-great-great aunt. Basic genealogical information can be found at www.havergal.cjb.net, and if you want anything more detailed (there are numerous books on her and her family) then reply to this post!

I've read the various obituaries of Commander Christopher Havergal and would appreciate confirmation of the exact link with Frances Ridley Havergal. Anything else of interest in this area? I can't make sense of the url you give!
Many thanks

I have only now found this post and find it fascinating, although I have never heard of the Havergal Memorial School, which I am quite shocked that I don't know about it, and I checked my local books and can't find anything.
So would love to know how your research got on.
Regards
