Mrs Rosie .............


what makes you think it was not an ordinary school??


If you Google it, you will find that it seems to have been a perfectly ordinary school, with children starting school at the age of 3 or 4, as they still do now


from one reference on Google ..............

"Yerbury Primary School. Opened in 1884 by the School Board for London as Yerbury Road Board School. An extension was built in 1895. It has been a school for primary age children since the 1920s."


Board schools were set up in the 1870s to provide a basic schooling for poor children and were paid for from local rates.

Middle class children went to grammar schools or private academies.

Young richer children were often taught at home by a private tutor. Boys then went to boarding schools.

I also found an ancestor (one twin girl aged 3 who was 'admitted' to Yerbury Road School...beginning to realise that this wasn't an ordinary school...was it a Children's home or some kind of 'Mental Institution?

Any knowledge???

Thanks
Carolyn

Ok thank you Ozi. Does that mean the other Rhoda Gill in the childrens home should be the one I should concentrate on.

Eliminate that family as it looks like the father was a William Henry which doesn't fit your info.

Ozi

Good Evening all

Ozibird, I'm a little confused. The thread you posted at 19:55 last night shows the census of a Gill family in the 1911 census. You follow this with a sentence saying we can eliminate this one as these may be the parents....you then give names of marriages. Did you mean eliminate the census or the marriages????

49 Rawmarsh Road Rotherham

Births Mar 1883 GILL Frederick Joseph Marylebone 1a (only one between 1880 & 1885) 564

Births Sep 1884 Gill William Thomas Pancras 1b 39

Births Dec 1886 Gill Charles Robert Pancras 1b 34

However, as shown before, their father is William Henry Gill.

What address do they have on cert?

The age of Sam on the marriage cert looks like either 47 or 41 years. Rhoda is definately 41

Meant to say. The other odd thing is that on the 1911 census with Dora Gill it states her as a widow, yet on the marriage cert it state Frederick Gill's occupation as Foreman at ...........????? which I cannot read

The witness names on the marriage certificate are really hard to read but they look like J I cannot decipher the whole forename but the surname looks like Tattershall and M Anne Strakell. But it is really hard to read, so this may be incorrect.

The Sam and James Rayne are really becoming a mystery. The marriage cert and Rhoda's death cert spell it Rayne.

This is the only Sam Rayne/Raine I can find for time.

His twin brother (??) is still around years later.

Update: However it might be coincidence that Alfred & Samuel are on the same page as this looks like Alfred and his father is a Mason.

What were the witness names on the marriage certificate please?

Gwyn

What age is Sam on the marriage cert?

Is it the same as this?

Deaths Mar 1940 Rayne Sam 60 Rotherham 9c 1727

Thank you all so very much, however I am a little confused now. If I am reading all these right.... it is saying there are three different Rhoda Gills, I think!!!

How do I find out the right one to me. My mother had no father named on her birth certificate so I have no link there. It seems very easy to get the wrong one, which I have done before.

You are all great

Julie :-)
