Am trying to find old Boarding Schools in Wolverhampton and Stourbridge for 1940's to early 1950's please

Have tried to google but cant find it

Is there a website or something showing the listing of pupils who went to that school?

Thanks

Clare

Are these private schools?

If they're not private - or weren't private - have you tried contacting the Local Authority for the area? They may have info. If the schools have closed the records should have been sent to their Archives department so you may have some luck there.

Try the Property Department first as they will know if the schools are still open.
