ps lancashire ann,
where did you manage to find the prosecutions,that is interesting info as i didnt know you could get prosecuted for not sending your kids to school at that time.[times dont change] xxxxx

they are on the 19th century newspapers site which I can access with my Lancashire library card

Jonesey has a thread about how to apply for one which is often near the top of the boards (I would have to read it ti find out as I have been a member of Lancs library since I was a small child in the dark ages)

can't remember when the education act made it law for children to attend school and I think the age range changed over the years - you could try Google

I think I typed that about George exactly as it was printed. The extracts were mainly from the local news section of the York paper

thanx everyone for all your work on the addinalls 'very interesting reading and i would love to know where you found the convictions and about truancy school. thank you again and again xxx mgt

sorry lancashire ann i send messages before reading my own,im obvs one of these annoying people xxxx

No problem Margaret. I am sure we all do that at some time
