New South Wales teachers rolls 1869-1908

Ancestry (www.ancestry.co.uk) has added a new collection, New South Wales, Australia, Teachers’ Rolls, 1869-1908, sourced from State Records Authority of New South Wales, Kingswood, New South Wales, Australia (NRS 4073 9 reels).

If your ancestors emigrated down under and took up teaching as a career, it's well worth a look. Details include:
  • age at the time of hire
  • training
  • promotions
  • teaching classifications
  • employment history with school names and dates
  • awards
  • reprimands and disciplinary actions
  • salary
  • marital status

There are nearly 15,000 teachers indexed in the collection. To search the names visit http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=4889
