Liz,
Unfortunately she is unlikely to figure in a book on eighteenth century
schools : - (
However, I suggest you try Cheshire Record office, the relevant Local
Studies dept of the Public Library system and/or the Education Authority.
One or more of these may well be able to assist you with the records of
late nineteenth century schools.
Someone else on the list may be able to help you with the addresses, but
you'll find the Cheshire Library Service at:
