The dates could be either birth dates or the dates the children entered the school

Have you looked on freebmd for births for the children named?    If this school was a primary school - then we are looking at children born in the late 1930's who may still be alive today.

Think you are 100 years out, CaroleW

If birth dates, not definite but possibly:

Births September 1844 
Tompkins    William        Coventry    16   355    

no Hannah, though.
