Title: Mount St Mary Beaumont boarding school leeds
Post by: RayDen on Saturday 03 January 26 14:57 GMT (UK)

I am undertaking a family tree for a friend. Have found her mother on the 1939 register of the Mount St Mary beaumont boarding school.

Can anyone advise if there is a site that provides information on pupils from the 1939 era?

I am not sure I have the right school really, I can’t find mention of ‘Beaumont’,  but was it an orphanage at the time?
If so, you could try https://catholic-care.org.uk/ re any records.

Yes heywood it was an orphanage. I have always found it difficult get information from the Catholic area always looking for another way in. Thank you for the input.
