Drumfin Sligo National School
« on: Sunday 24 March 24 16:57 GMT (UK) »
Hello Everyone,

I am currently looking for a school that was located in Drumfin Sligo. I have the 1911 census records that tell me Drumfin 8 was a national school, but I cannot seem to find any record of a name. I have found names of the land owner at the time and two teachers who lived next door in Drumfin 9 but that is all I have been able to find.

Does anyone have any knowledge or information about a school in this area? Any help would be much appreciated!

Both Bidelia Batelle and Patrick J Batelle are National School Teachers.
 
From the OSi National Townland and Historical Map Viewer and looking at the 1897-1913 map (MapGenie 25 Inch - ITM) in Basemap Gallery, here's the National School in Drumfin townland. It's referred to as Kilmorgan School beside the hamlet of Drumfin.
