Subject: School ads in Sherborne newspapers - 1830-1840
Date: Wed, 04 Aug 2004 15:07:56 +1000


I'm researching Robert Frederick HEARLE who was listed in the 1930 edition of Pigot's Directory as living at Newland,
Sherborne under the Schools and Academies section. I'm fairly sure Robert Hearle stayed in the area until about 1840.

I've been trying to identify which school Robert actually taught at, and it has been suggested that if he ran his own
school, he might have advertised in the local paper.

Does anyone have access to old Sherborne newspapers for this period, or an index? I'd love to be able to find out
where Robert Hearle was working before I visit Sherborne for a day in early September.
