Gradually building this up. The Handbook contains a huge amount of information about Board schools and teachers (see below for examples). I’ve just finished indexing the teachers; so far there are almost 1,600; download the list from here.

This list tells us a lot about teachers in secular schools. However, one might speculate that Mandel JACOBSEN, teaching at Rathbone near the heart of the Jewish community in Mount Pleasant was Jewish, or that Violet O’KEEFE was Catholic. Only their families will know!

Unfortunately, there is no equivalent that I have yet found for Archdiocesan and Diocesan schools, or non-conformist schools. I shall keep on searching, though!
