Frieth School

Admissions register

The first surviving admission register begins in 1900 [and is not included here] but some lists of children who took the Standard Examinations have been kept.

The following is a list of pupils in 1875, with succeeding years' additions

(Note : This is by no means a comprehensive list of all the pupils attending Frieth School during those years)

Spelling of names

Schooling was not compulsory until 1870, so many parents up to circa 1890 would have been illiterate.  It was the task of the Schoolmaster and the Parish Priest to arrive at a spelling for many names.

[ There also appear to be discrepancies between spellings for different years ]

The lists below are in alphabetical order of surname, age [on admission presumably] is included where known
