about William Joseph Price
Name: William Joseph Price

I noticed yesterday that William Corbridge (Executor) Schoolmaster, was near to Joseph on 1911, he too was at Wandsworth, Xavier College (St. Francis, Xavier)

A snippet in the Times mentioning attendants at funeral of Charles Elliott, names a William Price, former Head Teacher Elliott Elementary School.

google is good here!...

Not too far from both Williams in 1911.
also ties in with the Teacher Registration posted above by Tempest.

Chris :)

(just an idea!)

also this below, but not sure where Scammell would fit in, this William retired 1933...


William Price Headmaster from 1904 of Southfields Elementary Mixed School.

In 1910 the School was given 'Central' status and in 1911 the name was changed to Elliott Central School after the first Chairman of Managers, Sir Charles Elliott. In 1925 the school was separated into Elliott Boys' and Elliott Girls' Schools with Mrs E. M. Hewetson as Head of the Girls' School.
Mr Price retired in 1933 and Mr D.V. Llewellyn became Head. When the Schools moved to Putney in 1956 the Elliott Field was renamed as the William Price Field in his memory.

tempest .thank you i have seen this one i thought i had found him but this is not him .he was a head teacher untill the start of ww1 then he joined the army and went to fight in France.
when the war finished he did not have good health and was involved with scammell lorries (i dont know what this means either) untill his death
thanks for reply Keith

fmp has a Teachers registration record for a William Price who held the following positions

Assistant master
Napier School 1891 - 1899
Burghley Road HE School 1899 - 1904

Head Master
The Elliott Central School 1903 - 1933

hello. thank you to everybody who took the time to reply. i had to go out and play taxi so it was very late when i got back.... his name was William Price. i have lots of info on him .when he was born when he died ect
but have not been able to track the school down despite searching ..thought the school may have a bit of info on him (if it still exsists) got in touch with the council (Southwark) but they could not help.
have recently found out after the war before his death he was assosiated with Scammel lorries .what he did there i have no idea but when he died he left a substancial amount of money to his family ..well thanks again everyone now i have some info to search
regards Keith

old map (1872) showing schools on Borough Road

this looks interesting

http://www.bfss.org.uk/about-us/

The Burrell Bibles collection donated to Borough Road College in memory of Arthur Burrell, Principal of the College 1900-1913.

What was your Gt Uncles name?
What year was he born and where? What family did he have so that we might be able to trace him and find where he worked as a HeadMaster.

(choosing Southwark, then School in searchbox, brings up names, not seeing Borough though!)

Chris :)

seems like the was a Borough Road School

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bonwick

iv tryed google map and there is a road called
Borough Road, Camberwell, Southwark

so now thinking maybe there was a shcool and every one just called it borough road school

is there a way you can find out if there was a school in this road and try to go from there

Glitterbaby apologies of course he would be on 1911 census
i do not know what i was thinking of sorry regards Keith

You could try sending an email to the local history library:
http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200161/local_history_library

Have you looked at the historical directories website.

Quite often schools were listed

Keith

If he enlisted in WW1 then surely you could find him in 1911
