Newton Abbot ca1903
« on: Thursday 17 September 09 22:24 BST (UK) »
I am trying to trace my Father John Robert Douglas Webb. He was sent from British Guiana to School in England in about 1903. I think he was at the Newton Abbot Grammer School about 1903. I had a cup he won for the mile race. Does SKS know where I could find any school records for this period?

Wikapedia has mention of this school and there is a school website. There might be records held by the school if you contact them.

GENUKI has mention of a school book
