Hi Gary, I have been looking at Rossall School in Fleetwood. Using Ancestry, I just typed in the name Rossall School in the district and it gave me a full list 1851/1901. Hope this helps, good luck Jelly.

I have found that a few members in my family tree were teachers, some of whom ran their own private schools. Does anyone know how I might find out about these? Regards Kathryn
