Also no occupation in 1911 census.


In 1891 she's a "pupil teacher at school" , meaning she was helping to teach the younger children, while still being a pupil herself.

So if she ever rose to be a head teacher, it must have been between 1891 and 1896 - which doesn't seem very likely, I'm afraid..

Maybe just possible in a very small village school.

I was told their was somewhere u could check but no one can tell me where to check :-S

Info here from the National Archives may help.
There's a section about pupil teachers:

The National Archives seems to have records of some sort for a school, in Wick, Sussex - but I don't know if that's the school Emma worked at or not;

E/131 Flora McDonald County Junior School, at Wick (see E/131 Lyminster)

Now you’re looking for info again, please return to your Gertrude McDonald thread and read the info posted. TIA

Thank u Argyllgran much appreciated Erikah no I'm not just helping my husband cousin wife out with this person

FMP has "Teachers Registration Council Registers" but only from 1914-1948, maybe that's what the someone was thinking of, but wasn't sure of dates covered.

thank you no we are not sure on dates either

From the records posted above, the date range would be approx 1889 - 1896.

Thank you again argyll gran cant find a thing yet I think her daughter Dorothy Butcher made it up

She was certainly a teacher - but no proof of her being a head teacher, as far as censuses are concerned.

Perhaps her marriage cert would give her occupation.

Thank you I get my husband cousin wife to get one thank you I will pass this on to her

Women were not allowed to continue teaching after they married. This carried on until well into the twentieth century. I wouldn't have thought she'd have had time to rise to the ranks of headteacher before then.
