Elvington History
School Attendance 1861-1862
Hitherto the School Register has not been kept very exactly,
still we are able to give the following table of attendance. Each time the
school meets is reckoned one; thus a boy who has been at morning and afternoon
school would count as two. The full attendance would have been 458.
The time reckoned is from the meeting of the School after Harvest Holidays in
1861, to the beginning of Harvest Holidays in 1862
