Teacher

You may be able to find information about your teacher ancestors by contacting schools where they worked.

There is also a possibility that where a register entry indicates a schoolmaster - particularly in the mid nineteenth century - he may be an army man, typically with the rank of sergeant. It may, therefore, be worth also searching military records for an elusive schoolmaster ancestor.
