  • Registry of Teachers 1917

    I was hoping someone might have a copy of this and be willing to look for my Grandmother for me. She is shown on the 1911 census as a teacher (county council) in Castleford Yorkshire and was 23. As she didn't marry until she was 35, I expect she was teaching during the intervening years. She may have been in a different area at the time though. Her name was Petrina Mary Fergusson. Any help would be much appreciated.

      Thankyou for looking Janet. Being on the list cost a guinea and wasn't compulsory - shame.

        Didn't know County Councils existed as early as that!

          I just checked and it definitely says that, though it is written in a different ink and what could be a different hand. It is possible that it was added later by a researcher or such like I suppose.

            Yes if a woman teacher married she had to give up teaching too. That's why so many remained single.

              County Councils were formed in 1889.

                  That is what I understood to be the case too, but I was told she continued as, what we would now call, a supply teacher. May have been a private arrangement with one school. Incidentally, when I joined BOAC in the 70's, we were supposed to leave if we married! How times change!
