[DoreenH]

I am trying to trace where a teacher Edward Harris Hodges taught.

He attended Woodland Road School London 27 Feb 1898 as a student. Born 1869 Epping Essex. Resided at 12 Wendell St, Southside London.
He left UK for Australia in 1901 as a teacher to teach at the new Goldfields school in Bega NSW.

any help would be appreciated.

Hi Doreen
This page (http://www.records.nsw.gov.au/state-archives/guides-and-finding-aids/archives-in-brief/archives-in-brief-19) on the History of Australian Education site may be able to help with your quest. (I haven't investigated it)

Also scroll down to teachers Rolls on the State records site Here (http://www.records.nsw.gov.au/state-archives/indexes-online/indexes-online)

Hi Christina
thankyou but I have all the info on Edwards teaching in Australia. One of the school even provided me with a photo. What I need is his teaching role in the UK.

Ah, thanks for the clarification Doreen. Back to the drawing board. :smile5:

Have you read the Education guide on the UK National Archives site?

He attended Woodland Road School London 27 Feb 1898 as a student.

At the age of 29? Are you sure? And do you mean student or scholar?

If you don't have the 1881 info, he was an only child living with his mother, Sarah, who's shown as a Traveller's wife.
If you're not posting to Ancestry's uk branch as Sandy{number}, there's someone else interested in his family.
