Find Ancestors

Hello,

I would be grateful for your help. I see on the 1881 census that it shows that Amy b 1870 in Barnsley is deaf 8 years. I would like to know what school she went to, and if it was a deaf one.

If anyone can help me, I would be most appreciated.

Kind Regards

Rachel

Probably the best idea would be to google Barnsley schools in relation to the address. As the baptism assigns Latin names, in all likelihood they were RC. See if there were RC schools in the diocese.

Schools for the Deaf might have been too specialised in that era and not necessarily available for children of a Sawsmith.

How about contacting the above for general advice? If they were able to locate school rolls and conduct a search, they would probably make a charge.

Thank you very much for your help - I will contact Barnsley archives and see if they are able to help.
