Bluntisham Public Elementary School
« on: Saturday 27 October 12 20:42 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I am hoping someone can help me find some records for Bluntisham Public Elementary School. I am trying to find some information on a school  master called Ernest Claxton born 1883. I found a record in the Historical Directories stating that Ernest worked at the above school in 1914 and would like to find out more about him if at all possible.

Any help would be much appreciated

Thank you Atticus

The 1911 census is free to access on FindMyPast and GenesReunited at the moment.

You can find on there Ernest Claxton, born 1883 Peterborough, who I suspect is your man (due to his occupation! ;)).

This is his marriage:
