The Register
As you may know the
school admission register was found by Simon Pott amongst Rogers papers and
was produced at the 1998 Reunion.
This book starts in 1946 and lists all the
pupils who went to the school until it closed in 1969.
The Register is numbered
from 1 to 990 but there are several
jumps in the numbering and I have
details to a greater or lesser extent for 861 pupils.
I offered to copy the
information from the register to a computer database which means there is now a
permanent record.
Although the original information in the register was copied
in part from another source there are a number of details which are either
missing or not accurate and it would be of great assistance if members attending
the reunions would check and amend the details so that the information on
the database could be made as accurate as possible. The details missing in
particular relate to Date of Birth, Date of Leaving and Addresses.
Now the information is in a database it may be possible to locate lost
pupils by means of a data sort into original area addresses, as those in the U K
may well still have connections with their parents locality. Those pupils from
abroad will be very difficult if not impossible to trace particularly from the
Middle East where there was quite a large group over the years.
Any details that other
members have which may help to complete the records will be of great help.
Many Thanks
Geoff Kimberley.
