	One of my rellies was a School Master for over twenty years in Cornwall in the early-mid 1800s. Are there likely to be any records mentioning him? I assume he was also a pupil at the school as he was born and raised in the village (Crowan) where he taught. Having never looked for this type of information before, I would be grateful for any advice.

	Hi Helen, thanks for the reply. I checked the A2A site but none of the records seem to go back early enough.
