Hi the link you provided does indeed show education records. Although I have a subscription for FindMyPast it seems this is yet another set of records that is not available unless I upgrade. I get really hacked off if I have a subscription then its records should all be available. How stupid is this like saying you can have a library membership but you can only select books form the pastimes section. The index search gave me 5 records. These are all from one of my families. Do you have access to these records. Essentially I just want to know they school they attended and when. If you know what they were taught that would be a bonus. Also at what age they entered and how long many years they typically attended leading up and at the turn of the the 1900's. What I forgot to say in my first request is one of the families, which I believe is the one where entries are found, were living in Wexford for almost 10 years before moving back to Waterford. He was a ship's Captain and operated out of Wexford during this time.
