John Butler Furlong in Slough school

[adf]

Does anyone have any information on my ancestor John Butler Furlong who was a schoolmaster at a commercial school on Church Street, Slough in 1876.

Andy before I start searching this is not Everards brother is it! or is this an older relative? ie when was he born and where!

Well, this had to be my ancestor, but I'm trying to work out how old he would have been. I thought he was born around 1869, so something is wrong somewhere. The 1881 census has him age 12.

I got the Slough info from the following:
J.G. Harrod & Co.'s Royal County Directory of Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Huntingdonshire, and Northamptonshire. [1876]

Hi Andy. as that directory by the look of it covers Luton, could it be a Luton John b 1830/40ish?

Remember the Furlong family were heavily into schoolmastering.

Any chance of a brief snippet of what the directory says?
