Title: Industrial School, Stirling, 1870’s. Can actual records be found?
Post by: Family Trees on Thursday 31 January 19 16:28 GMT (UK)
Hello,
I have found it’s history, maps, photos, 1871 Census, 1881 census.

I’m looking for actual records of a boy inmate.

Can I find these anywhere?
My next step to contact Stirling Library maybe?

Many thanks.

So sorry it is in the wrong place.
Trying to see if I can delete the post.
