Matlock Presentation Convent Boarding School

[sio59]

I would be extremely grateful if someone could tell me where pupil records for Matlock Presentation Convent Boarding School  would be held and an address if possible to write to please.

I have just discovered a couple  of my Aunts from Ireland boarded at the school and one of them joined the order and came out here to Australia where she remained for the remainder of her life.


Many thanks

Hi

I think the school is now a care home for the elderly but it is still run by nuns.

Hope this helps

Hi,

As the school is now closed, think you should ask the
Derbyshire Record Office if the records were deposited with them?

They can be contacted by e-mail:-
record.office@derbyshire.gov.uk
Feel sure there will be 100year closure on some records.

You could also ask the Local Studies Library at Matlock if they have any info, but they will not
have the actual records.
localstudies@derbyshire.gov.uk

Some general info on the school on:-

Spendlove,

Thanks a million for the links. I'll email Derbyshire Record Office although the 100 yr record closure may apply to my Aunts going by dates  I have, and you never know what the library may have in their holding- I might just be lucky.
