Thanks for that, I'll give them a ring and see if they have online records or whether I need to book a holiday so that I can make a visit in person.

Essex Completed Lookup Requests / Witham Parish records
« on: Friday 25 July 08 22:37 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I have just found my ancestors lived in Witham. Are any of the parish records available on line? Also does anybody know if Dace is an Essex surname?

Hope you can help

Hi Lorna

Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried the website which offers me no further information. I know he was born the son of a shoemaker and had an elder brother who was a miller. It surprised me that he became a headmaster in the Borders. I would really like to find out where he was educated (and if the records survive) and also how he might of heard of a job at the other end of the country - would there have been a Scottish paper with the job advertised.

Best wishes

Gill

My great grandfather was born in Elgin in 1844 and eventually moved to Kelso as the Headmaster of an Industrial School.

He would have needed to be educated to do this but can anybody suggest where he might have recieved this education? Would he have needed specific qualifications or just a good background eduction?

Any suggestions welcome

Gill
