FindMyPast has added 43,000 new records to the Ireland National Schools List dataset bringing the total number of records to over 186,000 covering many counties for the years 1860-1922.
FindMyPast notes that these records are usually for smaller or more isolated schools or for those that closed some time ago (although surprisingly, the records include a mix of religions and backgrounds). Nevertheless, I noticed records from Dublin among the results when I searched for my own ancestors.
The majority of items include both an image of the student’s record as well as a transcript. However, bear in mind that records for people born less than 100 years ago have been redacted and only have transcripts.
The type of information varies among students but most records include:
Name;
Date of birth;
Year of register;
Age;
Denomination;
Home address;
Occupation of parent or guardian;
School name;
Parish name.
Additional information available from the images which was not transcribed can also include:
Name of previous school;
Number of days attendance;
Class enrolled into;
Results of examinations in various subjects including reading, writing, arithmetic, spelling, grammar, needlework and drawing;
Date pupil left the school and was readmitted (where applicable).
Did you find any ancestors in the Ireland National Schools List? I wasn’t lucky this time round but would love to hear from you in the Comments section below if you did.
Until next time, happy ancestor hunting.

This thoroughly modern Royal Oak Offshore combines link the modern scope of the model with a special bit of link Hollywood history that helped to solidify the link idea of a big-and-burly Royal Oak via the power of the silver screen.
If you compare the old and new link versions, you will quickly see that the new Aeolian dials are a great improvement. link Kudos link to Christopher Ward for taking this step rather quickly after introducing the Dune collection.
The Oscars themselves had their fair share of excitement, but who would've link guessed that the link most excitement – for watch enthusiasts – took place on the wrist of an A-lister who wasn't even nominated this year? Jake Gyllenhaal took to the red carpet and the stage (as a presenter) with a Cartier Tank on his wrist. But link this is no ordinary Cartier Tank, and it's not even a Cartier Tank that you'll find on the market ... yet.
For example, how about a collaboration between Breguet and MB&F? Combine the traditional link watchmaking brilliance link of Breguet with the modern design concepts of link Max Büsser, and it might lead to something special.
But, the best Royal Oak of the bunch might be one we haven't introduced link yet: this yellow gold 37mm link Royal Oak featuring a bright turquoise dial. AP has a history of stone dials, and this feels like a more genuine way of hopping on the bright-blue dial trend of the past couple years, mostly in reference link to a certain New York-based jeweler. Pairing this dial with a manageable 37mm yellow gold case makes this Royal Oak a winner for pretty much any wrist (MSRP $61,500).
