I have been trying to remember the names of some people I was at school with. Is there some where that has a record of pupils.

Depending on where and when, try,

Cheshire Archives, Chester.
Wirral Archives, Birkenhead

Maybe if you put the name of the school, where it is/was and the year you're after there may be wiki members who went there at that time

Have you tried the school...if its still there.
Friends reunited did have some but that's gone. Old boys/girls website?. General web search on the school name or a pupils name you can remember...suprising what comes up.

Some schools have Facebook groups, too; my primary and secondary schools have them, so that might be worth checking if you're on Facebook.

also did the school have a rugby football team. A lot on Wirral had and still have old boys rugby clubs
