Save Gaelic - The Scottish Gaelic information site!
Wecome to my new site exclusively about Maddiston School.
There's still a lot of work going on here so please forgive me if things don't always go the way you expect them to.
Once the first lefts register is fully loaded I'll carry on with the second and third but I'll have to be careful as it gets more up to date as it can be quite sensitive data for some people.The lefts registers are quite good for family historians, it's great to see where families came from and in some cases where they were moving to, most were moving around the coal mining areas of the UK and elsewhere.
The Log Books are only as good as the headmasters who wrote the enties in and as you will see when you read the last one the headteacher was so overwhelmed with other work that the entries were made about once a year.
The book I wrote about the school is here in glorious technicolour, of course the new school should be finished by now but part of the building was destroyed by fire last year, the children are supposed to be going in after the summer holidays - we'll wait and see.
I hope you enjoy your visit and don't forget to sign the guest book
