My Great grandfather was a shoe/boot maker in the Liverpool area. Did he learn his trade in Ireland and if so is it possible to find a list of industrial school (Cork and Kerry area) that contains a list of students that attended between 1860 to 1873 ? Thank you
Hello,
You might find the information you want here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Schools_in_Ireland
There is a very good novel about Irish industrial schools, NAILER by Tom Phelan.
