Engineers' Obituary: Nottingham
(1884) The Amalgamated Society of Engineers paid out a benefit (usually £12) on the death of paid-up members, and £5 in the case of their wives. The union's annual accounts therefore included an obituary for each previous year, listing, branch by branch, all members and their wives dying during the year, with age, cause of death, and amount of benefit. Full names are given for each member, but wives' christian names are not stated - e. g. 'John Smith's wife'. The union had branches in Britain and Ireland, North America, India, Australia and New Zealand.ATKINSON. Cost: £6.00. | Sample scan, click to enlarge

Boys entering Merchant Taylors' School in London
(1885) Merchant Taylors' School was founded by members of the livery company of the merchant taylors of the city of London in 1561 as a grammar school. By the 19th century this was a major English public school. In 1875 the school removed from Suffolk Lane, in the City, to a new building in Charterhouse Square in Finsbury. In 1907 the Reverend William Baker, a former headmaster, published this school register for the period 1871 to 1900, which we have indexed by year of admission. Each entry gives the boy's name in full (surname, christian name(s)); date of birth; names of both parents (middle names as initials); occupation of father; career summary; and (in italics) address as of 1907.ATKINSON.
