Chris - what a very generous offer.
If it's at all possible, I'd be most grateful for any information on a school run by a Frenchman named Henri Etienne Janson (b. abt 1801, died 1878) in Hove from at least 1851, possibly earlier, until the 1870s. I'd be interested in the name of the school (if any), dates, numbers of pupils or indeed anything else about Professor Janson and his school. Census details show that he and his family were at the following addresses in Hove:
1851: 9 Adelaide Crescent
1861: 106 Lansdowne Place
1871: 65 Hova Villas
There were boy boarders with the family at these addresses, but I haven't been able to find out whether the school was based at the successive Janson family homes or whether they simply accommodated a few of the boarders.
Prof. Janson's wife was a relative of mine, and many members of the family (including my great-great-grandfather) were educated at this school.
Many thanks in advance
Anna
