Subject: [Cork] Teachers & schools: 1840s
Date: Sun, 5 Dec 1999 21:26:28 +1100

Is anyone able to tell me if there are any sources listing schools and/or
teachers in Co. Cork in the 1840s? I understand that education at this time
was often for a privileged few, especially in the 1840s.

However, I have a marriage of a teacher in Rathcormac 1846 and would like to
see if I could track down more information.

His father is described as a merchant on the marriage record. The bride's
father is described as a farmer.

I expect that a directory for Rathcormac, if such a thing existed at the
time, would be the source to look at, but I have no idea where I should be
looking.

Can anyone help please??

TIA
