British Origins
The latest dataset to be added to British Origins
(http://www.britishorigins.com) is the Teachers' Registrations, a list of
over 100,000 people who taught in England and Wales between 1870 and
1947 - more than half of these are women.
From 1914, many teachers in England and Wales (and elsewhere)
registered with the Teachers Registration Council. The original
registration records for the period up to 1947 (after which
registration was abandoned) were deposited with the Society of
Genealogists (http://www.sog.org.uk) The Origins Network has now scanned and
indexed these records to make them publicly available for the first
time, on British Origins.
Although registration only started in 1914, since people who were
already teaching registered, the records cover teachers who started
their careers from the 1870s on.
The records provide the following information:
o teacher's name (and for married women teachers often their maiden
name as well)
o Date of Registration
o Register Number
o (Professional) Address
o Attainments
o Training in Teaching
o Experience
