Thank you, Newburychap! It clears something. While living in Tangier, Morocco, my greatgrandfather was Jew and naturalised British by Parliament Act. He certainly wanted his son to study in a British and Jewish college and naturally chose Craufurd college. Quite emotioning to see a photo of the college in the link to Maidenhead Civic Society News, though it is a shame it no longer exists.

Thanks also to Stanmapstone for his historical newspaper extract about the creation of the college!

Hello,
I went through Rootschat to Craufurd College. I just know that my grandfather Moses Abensur studied at this college in the 1910. I have a letter addressed to him by one of  his cousins at "Craufurd College, Maidenhead".  My grandfather appears in the 1911 census together with other pupils and schoolmasters. I wonder if anybody has located archives of this college. It seems it no longer exists.
Thank you for any information!
Regards,
Philip
