Title: Anyone know if Keynsham Reformatory school has admissions records online?
Post by: nicdigby on Friday 30 August 24 19:39 BST (UK)

Looking for admissions or equivalent records for 1911 for the above school. Can't find anything online. Can anyone locate any please? Looks like a boys' school for age 8+

Ah, sorry, it says Keynsham, Bristol and the index here said Bristol was Gloucestershire!

Bristol was a county on it's own! But not recognised by all.

You could try Somerset Archives, or Bristol Archives.
In order to be sent to a Reformatory School, a crime had to be committed.
So, maybe court records?

P.S. I grew up in Somerset, close to Bristol.
The River Avon is the usual county boundary.
