N.S. teachers in 1873-74


These pages contain data copied from N.S. Salary Books at the National Archive in Dublin 

In 1873-74 Ireland was divided into 61 districts for Educational purposes. At present, the lists only cover some districts, mostly near Dublin. ??Any volunteers to do others areas, especially those in Northern Ireland, which are stored in PRONI in Belfast?? 

Counties - in some districts the county is clearly shown, otherwise I looked at the address of the school, or just left it! sometimes I just didn't know!

School name and number -- original lists are in order of school number. The school name is often a townland - sometimes I've included the nearest town.

Although I took great care in transcribing details, I'm sure some errors must have crept in. I've left any peculiar spellings as they are in the books. Where I had difficulty in deciphering a name, I tried to include both "guesses" at it - the usual warning applies - look at all spellings of a name.
I've included Monitors - aged 12-18 yrs - many went on to become teachers. Monitors are marked "m" - this is probably where I've made most mistakes!
Some teachers are marked "ind", "indl", "agl" ....industrial? agricultural? "Important" nuns are marked "*" 


This should be used as an indicator - once the school number is found, the salary books can be checked.

warning!!! some of these links aren't working yet !!! July 2003
