Lancashire / Re: Friends School, Warrington
« on: Saturday 18 September 21 17:41 BST (UK)  »
My husband had a cousin, Phyllis Hartley born 1902 in Oldham, who was at the Friends School in Penketh in the 1911 Census. She was the youngest pupil at 8 years and went there after the death of her mother in 1910. Are there any records which will show how long she stayed there, what she studied, where she went when she left, and if her younger sister Marjorie b 1904 followed her there? I have sought info from the Archives at Warrington, but wondered if anyone had any pupil lists etc., apart from the 1911 Census (which I already have via both Ancestry and Findmypast). I guess she could have been there between about 1910/11 to 1917/18 or thereabouts, depending when she left.

Unwanted Certificates & Artefacts / Re: Wedding Menu Servian / Craingold

I will log in tomorrow after I get back from work to see latest update! Meanwhile I have contacted my two cousins about it and await their reply! They can both be reached by email. I am sure they will be thrilled - only this weekend I was asked to research Myer Craingold's ancestry by my cousin. His real name was Israel hence the conflicting records Morris/Myer etc. Re Servian's they came from Lake Serwy in NE Poland in about 1875 to Liverpool. One branch stayed in Liverpool (mine) - the other went to Chicago in 1905. I have just come back from an international genealogical conference in Chicago where I was able to make further discoveries. But this is wonderful.

I have just seen the message posted in May 2007 about the wedding menu of my late aunt Gertrude Servian and Myer Craingold. I would like to obtain this for their two daughters, my cousins. They stlll live in Manchester and are now grandmothers. Could Cal241 get in touch about this, or whoever has the menu now. I have been researching the Servian family for over ten years and this would make a fitting present for Gertrude's family.
