Hi
Has anybody details on the History of the Wesleyan Day School Beckwith Street Birkenhead.
I am researching a teacher called Frederick Collins Dawson who was resident at 56 Grange Lane Birkenhead in 1851 and a Methodist. I am trying to find the possible schools he may have taught at, he had left Birkenhead by 1861.

Regards
Jim

The Wesleyan schools in Beckwith Street were built in 1857 and closed (condemned) in 1909 but they may have held school at the Brunswick Chapel which opened in 1830.

Thanks diggingdeep. Are there any more possible none conformist schools open in 1851? Both he and his wife Mary Ann are recorded as teachers.

Thanks bert1 that's great, we have his Diary from teaching in Appleton le Moors from 1840-1844 but his diary ends when he leaves.
