A couple of years ago I found somewhere online a document that listed the attendance of children at Sunday School. I would have said it was of several Sunday Schools in the area around or including Wolverhampton. In particular it must have included Darlaston.
It named children, and said what their work was in the week, (filing the rough metal off cast nails was one I recall) and how clean they were when they showed up for Sunday School, and whether their clothes were mended.  How regular their attendance was.. and so on.

I cannot find it now!.  I would be so grateful if anyone knows of this and can direct me to it.

That is where I thought I had probably got to it from
But if I did I cannot do it now.
I've emailed them ( Wolverhampton Archives)  to see if they know of it.

It's not this one either. But I think it must be related to it.
