School's in Earsdon 1841

[staceyk84]

Would anybody be able to tell me which schools were in Earsdon, in 1841 my relative Jesse Dawson is a school master, just wondering if there is anything i can find on him but a search for a school has not come up with anything, any ideas welcome 

Thanks

Hi Stacey,

There was a school in Earsdon but I'm not sure when it was built.

If there is any information or existing records they are likely to be at Northumberland Archives at Woodhorn.

Thanks Christine, didn't think i would find anything online but it was worth a try as i don't live local to Northumberland 

Thanks for your help

i don't live local to Northumberland

But I do 

I'll check out what they have when I am there on Wednesday - can't guarantee to find time to look at any records but at least we'll know if they have any

Thats very kind thank you 

Please do not go out of your way to find anything though, just a school name would be great if possible, its a start for me atleast, again Thank You.

The link below should take you to a document produced by North Tyneside Council about Earsdon

http://www.northtyneside.gov.uk/pls/portal/NTC_PSCM.PSCM_Web.download?p_ID=224046

Page 17 states that the old primary school in Earsdon now used as a community centre was built in 1860 so probably not the one you are looking for.  However the document contains information about Earsdon that may be of interest to you as well as some photos of the village today.

Thank you LizzyD i will take a look at it

There are references in National Archives catalogue to the purchase of land for this school so I did wonder whether we'd need to look further afield for where your ancestor taught.  Possibly Seghill or Seaton Delaval.

It is possible c-side, i have not found reference myself, i will get onto it again, it must be local as people did not really work far, within walking distance usually wasn't it, hopefully i will find something, thank you
