Exclusive to Findmypast, this amazing collection of records includes admission registers and log-books from over 1,500 schools across England and Wales. In them, you'll find essential information for your family tree including the name of of the pupils, their parents and addresses. And if you're lucky, you could even find out if your ancestor was top of the class in their school reports or playing truant with documented reasons for absence.
3 quick tips for making the most of school records
Add the details to your family tree
Colourful titbits like exam results will bring your family tree to life.
Always check the original document
Transcripts gives you the most vital information. Images reveal even more.
Admission registers or log-books?
Check both. They're in the same collection but contain different details.
Findmypast school records - frequently asked questions
What can school records tell me about my family's past?
Most family records detail your relatives' lives during adulthood. School records are some of the few surviving documents that can reveal exciting details about their childhoods too. Nowhere else will you discover how often your ancestor was absent from school, how they performed in class and what was going on in their young lives, day-to-day.
