INFANTS (BOYS) REGISTER OF THE EARL OF DARNLEY NATIONAL SCHOOL FAIR GREEN, ATHBOY 1887-1923 Transcribed By DAVID DOUGLAS Page 1
Notes On This Transcription All details in this document were transcribed exactly as they were written in the original School s. Spelling mistakes/variations have not been corrected. Names are transcribed exactly as they were originally written. Christian names which were abbreviated in the original handwritten registers have NOT been expanded, e.g. Mgt, Thos etc. Ages were sometimes recorded in years and months. In this transcription an age of 3.8 means 3 years and 8 months. Place names are also transcribed as originally written. For example, Gillstown was sometimes spelled with one letter L. The Fair Green is sometimes referred to as Green or The Green, and modern day Connaught Street is universally called Connor Street. reference numbers for each pupil did not always follow in sequence. Again, no attempt has been made to correct numbers which are out of sequence. This is the infants register so gaps in the numbers can be where older pupils were admitted directly to older classes.
