Prestwich School and Library next door

[uk2003]

Hi Folks

I am trying to dig out some history for a group of OAP's me included for our old junior school we attended in the 1960's.

Can anyone supply me with Census reference numbers for these 2 buildings, I know one was staffed all the time (Library) so should show up on the census records. 1861/71/81/91/01/ and 11 if it is allowed been a long time doing a hunt

St Margarets Sunday School (Rooden Lane) or Bury Old Road, Heaton Park, Prestwich - see attached png

Many thanks for looking

Unless someone stayed there overnight on a census night -- they may not show up on a census unfortunately.

Pennines, when I worked in a library some kids believed staff slept upstairs so that someone was there to guard the books at night. They were surprised and a bit anxious if they saw a "library lady" in a shop or out in a street. It was as if they thought we were like nuns and the library was our convent.
On a serious note, I agree with Pennines, neither building will be on a census unless there was a resident caretaker, which I doubt.

Oh Gosh Maiden Stone -- you could have done that overnight -- dressed in a white sheet! The children would have thought the library was haunted and wouldn't dare misbehave!

Two mischievous children hid one evening before closing time. When they emerged from hiding and moved around, the burglar alarm went off. The janitor was alerted by police, returned to the building and discovered the young culprits.

Not sure if this is what you your looking for, will take a look for the others.

[Cancan]

1881  RG11/3032  Folio 84 (only)
         RG11/3033 from folio 4 scattered through to folio 59

[Cancan]

1891  RG12/3271 from folio 70 scattered through to folio 107

[Cancan]

1901 RG13/3771 from folio 5 scattered to folio 37
        RG13/3778 from folio 115-115  & folio 120-124
        RG13/3779 from folio 6 scattered to folio 43

my index does mention that St Margaret's Hotel is on RG13/3778 folio 121-121 not sure if this will help narrow things down for you?
