Thread created for the very early days of RDS.
Does a list of schools exist from circa 1847-1848, the years most likely when and where RDS got his first taste of chalk, unlike his later girlfriend,Mabel Collins, who did not go to school at all ?
Anyone in the Hull/Sculcoates area reading this,we appreciate the help,if possible.
Thanks !

Hi Howard,
Savage of Sculcoates here sir.
I did find a little bit of correspondence in the local library concerning RDS education, it simply said that they had searched their records, but could find nothing.
I shall be back on the case as soon as time allows, and will post anything I find.

Robert Chas..
Better not let RDS hear you diss his Alma Mama !! He might turn you into a snack for the Spider God !
Thanks for the hyperlink. That'll keep me occupied for a while. Much appreciated..
Savage of Sculcoates:

Hi Robert,
Thanks for those links, I have come across the dixon one before, it is a most helpful introduction to the history of the area.
The Hull pubs site, well, I could have written it myself if I didn't spend so much time visiting the damn places.

Hi All,
The following advertisement in the Hull Daily Mail of 9th. January 1889 gives us some idea of the eduational standards required for entrants to HM Customs & Excise.
"WANTED young men as Customs or Excise officers; aged under 25; examined in arithmatic, composition, and spelling, rapid evening school or postal preperation for examinations held quarterly; next examination about March; - particulars, write or apply Civil Service School, New King Street, Hull."
