Brierley Girls' and Infants
School Registers
REGISTER 1
INDEX
The schools admission registers
started in 1873 and the first official entry is one Annie Little -
was born 7 February 1868 and started the school in July 1873. It
names her father as Joseph Little - Market Gardner. A further entry
also shows H? May Kenyon starting the school in February 1878 and
was born 25 April 1866. It names her father as George Kenyon -
Farmer. From that date, there is only a further 44 names registered
up to 1880, and there is no admission dates to accompany these
names. . Not many of the village's children went to school in the
early years. It is interesting to note that the school was named
‘Brierley Girls and Infants’. The first Head teacher and probably
the only teacher at that time was a Miss Fanny Juster. It is also
interesting to note that, before Mr E H Hoyland, all the other
previous head teachers (11) were ladies, and that they didn’t seem
to stay at the school for much more than one year. I would like to
have concluded by stating that the school was girls only in those
early years, but evidence in the registers shows that boys did
attend at the same time

There is a lot of work to be done
to complete these registers. Although I have copies of the original
registers to hand, they are very hard to decipher and there is a lot
of wear in the original ink, but I will plod on when time allows and
update at regular intervals when another section is complete. If in
the meantime you wish me to look someone up for you, please don't
hesitate to contact me. |
