Rediscovering a URL path to a previously seen document.
« on: Sunday 11 April 21 11:53 BST (UK) »
Way back in 2015 I downloaded from somewhere (almost certainly) Ancestry <dot> com a copy of the School Register (dates of registration and dates of moving on) for the first school my grandfather* attended in Cullompton, Devon, back in 1890.  *Edward Charles Gray, b: 1 August 1886

The download was accompanied by the reference:
    GBOR-SCHOOL-DEV-7779C_EFA1_1-0057
    the page is showing admissions from 14. 4. 90 to 27. 7. 90 (1890)
I would now like to track back to that document to search the adjacent pages for entries relating to any of his siblings and cousins that might have attended the same school.

I have searched Ancestry’s “All Collections” and “Card Catalog” without any credible results.

I have repeated the searches with both Gray & Grey, without any credible results.

I have sought help from “A’s” virtual agent(?) with a response which under different circumstances could have been considered modestly amusing:
    Words to the effect: “I’m still learning how to do this.”

Any help in finding a path to this page would be appreciated.

Thank you all,

ScotMum:
Thankyou for the hint pointing towards:
    National School Admission Registers & Log-Books 1870-1914, Cullompton, Devon, England
I've now tried that in "A" with no results.

Ahh, that's reassuring, being Edwards younger (step/ half) brother via dads second wife. 

Well that's motivated me to sort out a visit to the local library to see if the recent re-openning of services extends to their public access computers.

Afterthought 1: If one were to pay subscriptions to all the available subscription sites one would need a bottomless bank account!

Afterthought 2: to see the family 'in the round' see: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/9WYJ-Q2T

Thankyou, JohnG_Swansea.
