Abbey Grange, Eastham, Cheshire
« on: Friday 17 July 09 20:42 BST (UK) »
In 1933 a distant relative age 11 (family originally from Scotland in late 1800's) came from Demerara, West Indies to Abbey Grange, Eastham accompanied by her mother (details from incoming passenger lists). Mother returned to Demerara and both father and mother returned periodically to this country. Jean returned to Demerara in 1936 age 15. My feeling is that Abbey Grange was a boarding school - can anyone confirm this?

Best wishes, Fairlane

The only mention i can find of Abbey Grange are High schools but they are/were in Yorkshire others in various other counties I am not aware of any Boarding schools in Eastham.
You could try contacting the Chehire & Chester Archive.They might hold records it was a boarding school.

Hi Celia

Yes, we're talking about Eastham, Wirral. Thanks for your help - contacting Cheshire archives is a good idea which I will follow up. I couldn't find any references when googling "Eastham Cheshire" either. I hoped that there might be someone out there whose mother attended the school. 

Regards, Fairlane

Hi Marion

As there is a possibility that your email address may be removed by the moderators, we need to get you up to 3 posts so that you can send a PM (personal message) to Fairlane with your email address on that.

Do tell us what Abbey Grange was!  Was it a boarding school?  Is there an abbey near by?

Hi Marion

Welcome to Rootschat! I see you found my old post and I have grabbed your email address before it is removed (Rootschat try to prevent spamming) so will send you my email address as I'd love to have a photo of Eastham Abbey.

Many people read these threads and are always interested in the answers so just to satisfy anyone interested can you tell us on here if it was a Boarding school?

Best wishes, Fairlane

Thanks to Marion I now have my photos of Eastham Grange. There is no evidence that Eastham Grange was ever used as a school so the reasons for my people being there will remain a mystery!

Hi

I visit Eastham quite often. I've got friends living there. If you send me a copy of the photo, I could see if they know anything about the place.
