I need to know at what age would a child go to school in the 19th century?

Hi, Tina:
A good place for you to find out this information would probably be the Spartacus Educational "Teaching History Online" site on British History on Education 1750-1950, where you should find the answer you need. Beware if you are an American, in England a "public school" is really a private school for the rich not a public school as Americans know it. The types of schools you are probably most interested in are those for the middle or lower classes, e.g., the grammar schools, board schools, and ragged schools (for the poorest). You might want to also check out the website for the Ragged School Museum, a newer museum in the East End.
Best regards
