Browsing some school records today I found a reference to a brother of my grandfather William Herbert Norris. The brother in question is George Norris
Admission and discharge register for New Road School, Lambeth.
His admission No is 487, and name is given as George Norris. How do I know it is my grandfather's brother? Because his date of birth is given as 15th April 1896 and his father is identified as Herbert G Norris (Herbert George Norris my Great Grandfather). Their address is given as 122 Crimsworth Road. Admission date is 10th November 1902, making George six years old. His previous school appears to be St Barnabas, Lambeth.
New Road School was opened in 1874. It was rebuilt in 1927 and became Bradmede School in 1936-37. it was closed or reorganised in the 1950s
Searching further ... and, yes, George did attend St Barnabas School, Lambeth. His admission No is 1531 and his date of admission 22nd April 1901. The date of birth is given as 13th April 1896, making George nearly five years old. The address given is 9 Springfield Place.
Not only George is found here, but Lily also. She has the same admission date and her admission No is 1532. Lily's date of birth is given as 11th April 1894, making her age here seven years old.
It would appear also that Lily attended Webb Street School, being admitted on 18th April 1898 with an admission number of 121. The adddress given is not clear, but could be 71 Cook Road which is the address given in the 1901 Census.
