School Returns for the Half Year ending 1 May 1846 Upper Prospect, Halifax County District No. 20
The list of names and ages are from the original school record. Additional information is used to suggest the identity of the children. This is done by matching their approximate birth year with the baptismal records at Our Lady of Mount Carmel. This gives them parents, and also shows how accurate the teacher was with the ages of the children. Please keep in mind that all parents and dates listed are suggestions and they might be wrong.
