Sorry to have taken so long to get back to you. The archives does not have any records for Industrial Schools for 1920 and the lady there says it was most likey he was sent somewhere else. There are not many school records for Nottingham either covering that or earlier years most of what they have are for later years and not all the
come under the 100 year rule.

Bev did give me a web site for you to look at on for Industrial Schools it's

Hi Littlelegs, I've just put the following on Lavender's Find My Past thread and realised it might be useful for you as well.

Have you looked to see if your county library service gives you access to newspapers etc? If I go to the Suffolk Libraries site I can use my library card number and a personal pin to get into quite a lot of newspaper archives, including British 19th century newspapers, and a lot of local papers, plus other stuff useful to a family historian. There's no charge for this - all I need is to have a library card.

(Just realised I haven't used this service for ages so I might be looking this afternoon to see if I can still get into it.)

I've snipped the two articles and pmed them to littlelegs.

the c&P is the caption and a bit gibberish but the full artical says guilty and it was thought an industiral school would be best for him.he alledgely broke into a warehouse and attempted to steal cloth.......poor little lad.
