Thats an interesting thought, you could be right Julie.
Everything about what my Nan said her about this line has turned out to be a load of rubbish but one thing he told her was that the family 'had schools in Wales'. Now, I have found nothing to suggest they did have schools, or even any links to Wales
, but when I saw this occupation for two census', it did stick out to me.
I have no other people in my tree who were involved in schools and it would be lovely to try and find if any records still exist of his time as a school master.
