Try the Teesside Archives office in Middlesbrough.     They are actually in Marton Road so they should know!
I have ancestors who went there much earlier but have a feeling it is no longer there.

Hi Andrea
Thanks for the reply. I will try to get to Middlesbrough Archives when I next visit the area.

If you mean the Primary School, I think the building is still there but used for something else. The children have since transferred to Abingdon Road school.

My Mum taught at Marton Road Infants in the 1960s. Too late to be of use to you I'm afraid.

Marton Road is a VERY long road from Middlesbrough town centre right out to the outskirts.

Thanks for the reply. I will ask at the new school if they have transferred the records.

You'd best start at the Archives I think - i don't think the new school would have space for all those records. I'm sure you can e-mail and check first though.

thanks for your e-mail.

I checked the Archives before posting my question.
They were unable to help.

Hi Keziah,
I know the school has been knocked down.  I'm now on an interesting website called  enquire  http://www.peoplesnetwork.gov.uk  asking where the records are held, you can chat online to a librarian (unfortunately it's not to a Middlesbrough one at the moment), and they couldn't help straight away, but will follow up and email me back in a day or two.  If you can't wait that long I'll phone Mbro ref library tomorrow & ask them.  Can you tell me which records you're after, I told them it was the pupils you wanted to know about?

Hi Barbara
Thanks for your reply.
I have been in touch with the Archives and they do not hold the records. So I have come to a brick wall regarding them.
Many thanks once again
