Title: Lookup, School Enrollment Lists, WHITTINGTON
Post by: Tassie T on Saturday 13 October 12 03:51 BST (UK)

Does anyone know if there are records of school enrolments kept from the 1870s. I am specifically seeking any records of children with the surname WHITTINGTON at the West Christchurch School in the late 1870s.  I have found digitised records of newspapers with the occasional reference to presentations made in December 1878 but I was wondering if records existed listing students in classes and any extra information such as parents of students.  Any assistance at all would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
There are some indexed for the 1880s, what are the children's first names?

You will usually find school records are held at archives, if you search archways

Most local genealogy groups also index schools in their local areas.

Hi Althea, Thanks for your reply. The childrens names are, in order of age from eldest down; George, Kezia, Ellen Jane, Clifford, Walter, Margaret and William.  All are Whittingtons.  Ellen Jane passed away in 1881.  Thank you for the other places to search.  Ian

Hello Ian
I note you are researching Daniel Clifford who came to Tasmania 1853
I am descended from Daniel, via William who came to NZ

I have some info re this family, but I would love to have verification of surname of Jane, Daniel's wife
I cannot find primary source for her.
It is some time since you used this site, so I hope you are still looking at it
