So sorry,I'm not too familiar with the roots chat.com mechanics.
To sum it up,I was looking for the names of the schools that residents of Capel st,sent their kids to in the years 1871 to 1878.
My great grandmother,Sarah Jones(nee Arnold) arrived in Dublin in 1871 from London.Her son(my grandfather) was six years old and of the protestant persuasion.
Sarah died in Dublin in 1878 when Frederick was approx twelve years old.
And I'm trying to track Frederick's movements around that time.
He also had a brother called Harry.
Thanks for any help, anyone can give👍

Church of Ireland children usually attended their parish school and the nearest parish to Capel Street was St. Mary's Church in Mary Street but I'm not exactly sure where the school was.  Other northside local parishes were St. Michan's, St. Paul's and St. George's which were near enough to Capel Street, however a little further afield would have been St. Werburgh's or St. John's on the other (south) side of the River Liffey.  You could try Ancestry if you have a subscription to see school records.  I think that's where I got my mother's school record and her siblings.  Good luck!

Sorry Gerry, it was the National Archives for the schools records, not Ancestry. My mistake.

When I looked last week I could not find any reference to a primary school attached to St. Mary's Church...maybe there was none,space etc. being a problem.
Further, you should consider whether attendance was at a private school which were quite prevalent then as the National School system was still expanding. One did not have to be affluent to attend any of these local primary schools.

Yeah,I did contact the national archives and they told me that I would have to know the name and place of the school.
