Mc Stinson (?) Private School, Blackpool 1920
« on: Friday 05 April 24 14:49 BST (UK) »
On the 1921 register, 79 Hornby Road, Blackpool, I have found an ancestor, (Jesse Hardacre, born 1897, Keighley), teaching at the Mc Stinson Private School, Blackpool. The name of the school may have been mis-transcribed but I can't find any school with this or similar name in Blackpool in the 1920s. He was a musician, so presumably taught music! Can anyone help find where this school might have been? I did wonder if it was the now Rossall Boarding School but the history is not conclusive.
Thank you for looking.
Erica

The address for the school appears to be St Annes on Sea = Lytham St Annes.
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.

It’s Kilgrimol (!) School. (The 1921 entry clearly says this, once you know what it says.)

There are lots of adverts in the Blackpool Gazette and Herald for a first class day and boarding school for boys, principals Arthur Anderson and C Bertram Stinson.  It also mentions that it is on the South Shore. (Don't have a sub, so can't see full advert)

Added: address in 1915 is The High School, Alexandra Road, South Shore, Blackpool

Thank you all so much for this. Unfortunately I only splashed out on a FindMyPast transcription - I might have done better to pay the extra pound and viewed the image! They are an unusual family - Jesse's father was an occult scientist! So I now have a more complete picture of their lives.
Many thanks,
Erica.
