Good Afternoon,
The records of the NSW Public Service , Parliamentary Proceedings, Government Gazettes and Ecclesiastical Returns provides the names and the schools for teachers, pupil teachers, probationary teachers, itinerant teachers, mistress and School Attendance Officers. Many of the schools have long since disappeared or closed but may be of interest to those whose ancestors were teachers. They are listed in my new database NSW Residents Vol 3. Follow the link for free extracts from this database if your ancestors were school teachers or if you simply wish to know who taught their grandparents. Note that this listing contains entries from as far back as 1867 and may take some time to load.

Many thanks Terry, for this useful dta-base.
I think it would be worth asking a moderator to add this to the Resources board.

Good of you to offer it. Please don't remove the free link. We need more generous people like you in the genealogy world :)

And may I please quote from Terry's web page
Research
‘I KEEP six honest serving-men
(They taught me all I knew);
Their names are What and Why and When
And How and Where and Who.’
‘The Elephants Child’ Rudyard Kipling
The basic tenets in any research
Yes, I agree, Terry, to me, it doesn't matter whether you are armchair searching through online indexes, or lounging around e-reading on your tablets, or at a desk in a reading room with your PC and keyboard, busy transcribing early 19th century NSW parish registers into a spreadsheet, or wallowing deep into the depths of a hoard of paper mites while trying to rescue a poorly conserved primary resource, or walking through a museum looking at the exhibits, or reading through RChat's forum posts, ..... what and why and when and how and where and who must forever continue to be the six focus words, :) elsewise there's twaddle.
