Linden,

The National Archives link shows the earliest school is Corlatty Carroll in 1804.

Hi again Christopher ,

You are a mine of information !
I've just had a reply back from Cavan Genealogists saying they couldn't find any parish records for my Leddy family , so I'm going to try your earlier suggestions .
A researcher in the National Archives told me which first names in the Griffiths evaluations matched my family - so I guess that's one place to start .  The school lists would be another .

I've always wondered where people got the money to emigrate , even if it was only to England.

Regards,
Linden

Hi Linden,

There were many ways to raise the funds to emigrate ... a few that spring immediately to mind are ...

1. If the family was a large one and a couple of the older members had married someone with a bit of money they would probably have assisted younger ones to emigrate.
2. Landlords sometimes paid people to emigrate rather than have them on their land.
3. A member of a family may have emigrated on their own, found a job and sent money home so that others could emigrate.
4. Transportation for committing a crime meant there was no necessity to pay.
5. Many emigrated as bonded-servants. They would be given passage to America, paid by the person who brought them over and would have to work off their passage upon their arrival as per their contract. This could be a period lasting as long as seven years.

My family came from Virginia, a little town north of Kells.
Surname was Green and they were in Virginia from 1860's to probably 1960s.
The girls married and moved away. The last male didn't marry and died in the 1960s I believe.

Any idea which National School children from Virginia would have attended?
My gran took me there once and pointed out a building where she went to school so it may still be standing.
