Update News:
2019 July 6th - more narrative on WW2 from the school registers
2019 June 26th - WW2 page now includes information about evacuees from the school log books and the admission registers. There were unofficlal evacuees where families took in relatives from Manchester in September 1939. The official evacuees arrived from St Bride's School Old Trafford and Stretford Road School. They continued to be the responsibility of the relevant authority and not transferred to the Mobberley Primary School books. Then in July 1944 32 children arrived from South London due to the threat from Flying Bombs.
2019 May 6th - Page added (see more/links) for the 1939 Register. This was taken on the night of 29th September 1939 to enable the government to organise ID cards, rationing and conscription. It is redacted for records where death has not been confirmed. it continued to be used by the NHS until paper records ceased in 1991. As a result the records include subsequent name changes due to marriage and remarriage.
Operation Pied Piper (the evacuation of children from Manchester, London and elsewhere) commenced on 1st September 1939. Mobberley received children from Stretford Road School and St Bride's Manchester and it is clear that many households were involved in looking after one or two children who were then taught at Mobberley Primary School, initially by their own teachers (in the afternoon, with Mobberley children being taught in the morning) but later on absorbed into single classes. I have transcribed the information as best I can interpreting the handwriting and a link to a 20 page pdf report is included.
2019 April 26th - the People and Families page for the Mallory family has been updated to show the before and after pictures of the grave of the Revd George Mallory MA who died in 1885, grandfather to George Leigh Mallory and Trafford Leigh Mallory. This follows the restoration ealrier in the Spring.
