Hi,

Just tried this....went to familysearch.org  then  clicked on United Kingdom and Ireland.  Then scrolled down to England, Cheshire School Records 1796-1950.   Clicked on that and  typed in John Smith (there was sure to be one!) and got several results.

Must have a go at that and see if I can find myself. ;D ;D

Modified - Nope, I'm not listed.  Lots of the records I looked at seemed to be Church schools or else not in the area of Cheshire where I went to school.  I'm going to look for some g.grandparents and older tomorrow.  As they could all read and write, I'm sure they went to school.

There seemed to be a lot of Stockport Sunday school records.

Hi

The link below has a list of schools. A quick look through suggests the majority are Church schools and they are possibly from the C of E Archives at Chester.

Wirral Archives do hold some school records. The link below is a list of schools
