Hi, I am trying to track down my grandmother, Edith Matilda Davis, and have found a likely person on the 1881 Census for Theydon Garnon, Essex. She was 10 years old listed as a boarder and a scholar. As she would have gone to Theydon Garnon School is there anywhere that I can get a list of the pupils attending that school in 1881. She is listed on the Census as an Eda David born in Harrow Road London but as she is living with people called Wade, feel that this could have been misheard by the enumerator. Harrow Road is where the Workhouse was situated but unfortunately records for 1871 up to 1883 are not available. Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you, Winnie

If the school records exist anywhere, the County Records Office would be the best bet:
