Hello vito,

The following Lurgan schools are listed in the 1861 Belfast and Ulster directory on the Lennon Wylie website www.lennonwylie.co.uk I've posted the link so that you can check to see if there are others. I included the Workhouse as I think some teaching was done in the workhouses.

Academy for Young Ladies. Mrs Green

Union Workhouse - Edward Despard, master ; Miss Anderson, matron  George Ruddell, relieving officer ' James Ruddell, clerk.

Free Schools, North Street - Henry Clarke, master ; Mrs. Anderson, mistress.

Infant Schools - There are two infant schools, one in the Demesne, patronised by Lady Lurgan, which is conducted by Mrs. Bullick and the other in Union Street, conducted by Mrs. Murrow.

The free educational establishments were - a school which was supported by Erasmus Smith's charity, and an infant school solely supported by Lady Lurgan.  A Mechanics' Institute was also established in the town.

Tullygally School, under the Church Education Society - Wm. Verner, master.

Lurgan National School - Patron, Rev. L. E. Berkeley ; male teacher, Thomas Donaldson ; assistants, John Nelson, William Dalton, William Morrison ; female teacher, Miss Lowry ; assistants, Miss Stewart, Miss Ginn.  Music class, Samuel McGowan, teacher.

Dougher National School - Patron, Very Rev. William O'Brien ; master, William Cullen ; assistant teacher, John Marshall ; monitor, Murtagh Kennedy ; mistress, Mrs. McKeown ; assistant, Miss Ward ; mistress, Miss Larkin.

Details on how to obtain back copies here- only one article on farming by a Gracey but perhaps the list will jog your memory and you can find the one to order-
