As a point of interest - don't assume that the DOB on the school records are correct. Several of my documented ones have fibbed - lol

Potty - no doubt people would be willing to do a look up for you if you give the details from a free search.

About London, England, School Admissions and Discharges, 1840-1911.

This is a collection of School Admission and Discharges for schools in London. This collection contains more than a million students from 843 different schools. In 1833, Parliament started to provide money for the construction of schools for poor children, although it was still largely a private affair. Mandatory schooling was a local decision until 1870, when children were required to attend from age 5 to 10. By 1918, education was required up to the age of 14.

These records are lists of children who were admitted to and discharged from schools. When education was required, children could be discharged from their schooling if they were needed to work to help support the family. The records vary by school and some are more detailed than others. The records include:
•Admission Date
•Name
•Parents’ names
•Parents’ occupation
•Address
•Birth date
•Age
