Just found my grandparents.

Busy day ahead.

None of the counties I want yet but good news for others.

Interestingly I found some Scottish ancestors that were in South Stoneham, Southampton, Hampshire because their father was a Ship Engineer Fitter that travelled to Southampton between 1899 and 1910 back in Scotland in 1911 where he died.

Amazing, a long way to travel to work from Glasgow but at least his children went to school in between.

I've found my great grandmother in Lincoln and another great grandmother's siblings at an RC school in Arundel, which as they were C of E was a surprise.

This has been updated. I don't see a list of what has been added, but their "Findmypast Fridays" blog entry says "A third and final release of school records will take place in September 2015", and the email says "Search or browse through over 2.7 million new records from over 3,600 schools, released in the third phase of the Archives & Records Association of England & Wales National Schools project", so I guess they have added everything that wasn't included in the first two phases?
Link to database so you don't have to go back through the thread:

They have also just added Irish National School Registers 1860-1920 (more to be added at a later stage):

(must say I'm surprised they are allowed to include such recent records.)

There is a huge quantity of Croydon records which have only recently been digitised.

The first thing I found was that OH's great-grandfather attended Southwark Grammar School.

These new counties have been added
Berkshire
Derbyshire
Durham
Herefordshire
Norfolk
Northumberland
Staffordshire
Worcestershire
Yorkshire

There's also a couple of counties been updated with new records.

I don't think this is the last update as the only records added for Durham are for schools in & around Stockton & Hartlepool. None of the records held by Durham Record Office have been added but I know they are part the project.
