i still think also the school reocrds will help

School Records / School Log Books
1870-Current Day (although 100 year rule applies) School registers provide pupils names, date of birth, addresses, fathers names and fathers occupation and years of attendance if they left to go to another school this would also be noted. Some have a brief explanation about the family.
School Log Books were filled in weekly by the head teacher give attendance figures and note extraordinary events.
From 1862 statutory admission and discharge registers began to be kept by the head teachers of schools receiving government funding, you will discover that many of these commence only in 1880 when schooling became compulsory betwixt the ages of 5 and ten, though local districts could make it from 1870.
School attendance registers were compiled by local education authorities after 1875 these disclose similar information as well as the placement of youngsters in schools throughout the county.
The particulars registered concerning the deaths and births of children submitted to the local education authority (LEA) by the district registrars record the date and place of each event the child’s name, sex his or her fathers name and the description and abode of the informant

you could also try the smallpox vaccination records they should be at your local RO
they date from 1853-1948 parents were put on 3 months notice by the district registrar to take their baby for vaccination by the public vacinator or by the GP depending on where they lived, a vaccination certifcate was then issued - the registers are arranged by English & Wales sub district and record:
the date and place of birth
the childs name and sex
the fathers name - or if illigitimate that of the mother & their occupation
and the date when the district registrar notified the birth to the vaccinating officer
also they show the dated of the vaccination and whether it was successful or whether the childhad already had smallpox or had an unsuccessful attempt of vaccination or if the child had died already and the date of death of that child

Toni.......how could someone in Oz......(Me) access these records??

contact the local record office to where the person who you are asking about lived for school or in the smallpox case was born and ask them if they hold the records

ps it really helps if you know the school or the closest one to where they lived, like i say the 100 year rule applies so even if your relative was at school in 1898 say but the register carried on until 1938 you wouldnt be able to view it until 2038 but some places are a bit more flexible and allow your information to be accessed but some stand byt he gard and fast rule  (bes to to be safe and secure though) - usually registers / log books dont take that long to fill up!

It's Ernest.......I would be taking a stab at where he went to school, so would have to approach quite a number of RO's
