Boys entering Manchester Grammar School
(1921)
This Biographical Register of Old Mancunians lists boys alphabetically by year of entering the school. A bare register of entrants existed from 1888 onwards but it was only since the Second World War that any kind of detailed record was kept of those who passed through the school. So, in every case in this printed register, full name is given, in bold, surname first (in capitals); date of birth, and years attending the school; but for the earlier years sometimes there is no more information - or, equally, after investigation among Old Mancunians and published sources, the editors may have been able to furnish a condensed biography. An asterisk indicates a holder of a Foundation Scholarship. In the later years a current address is also given, as of 1964 to 1965, when the book was prepared.WILLIAMS.

Boys entering Clifton College

Boys are listed alphabetically by term of entry, with full names, surname first, in bold. Father's (or widowed mother's) name is given (surname and initials) in capitals, and address. Then there is the name of the house (N. T., North Town; S. H., School House; S. T., South Town), first and last forms, distinctions in school work and games, and month of leaving. Where known, the editor then gave a career summary with month of death; or, if still living, address as in 1925 (in italics). Of course, in the case of boys entering the school in the years immediately before 1925, they were either still at school or their careers were still ahead of them.WILLIAMS.

Aliens traced by the British police
(1923)
The Police Gazette was published by Authority by the London Metropolitan Police, and circulated, as confidential, to the police forces throughout Britain and Ireland.

One of the regular features was a list of Aliens Wanted for Crime, as well as Aliens Whose Whereabouts Are Sought. When the individuals had been traced, their names were published under the heading Aliens Traced, with no more detail than the name of the police authority, full name, and item number and date of the issue of the Police Gazette in which the first request had been posted. Variations of surname spelling and aliases are noted in the descriptions, and these variants and aliases have also been indexed.WILLIAMS. Cost: £6.00. | Sample scan, click to enlarge
