Hello all
I am sorry that I haven't given any contribution since posting my query, unfortunately I haven't been well, also major computer problems.
I am trying to get to grips with a new one, but would give anything to get my old steam powered one back!
I have been trying to digest the replies.
I do not know Ross at all, I have only visited once and that was quite a few years ago.
It would not have been the private school as my mother came from a large family, and there certainly wouldn't have been money for school fees.
I do know she could have attended the grammar school but was unable to because of the cost.
What did strike a cord was when bookkeeping was mentioned as a subject at the larger school, as that was my mothers employment right up until she retired.
All books kept by hand, no calculators or adding machines!
My mother died 27 years ago and my recollections of what she told me may be a bit distorted.
I would be pleased to receive any information by email, thank you.
Jane
