School Records can be found at PRONI in Belfast.  For example in the Coleraine area there are:  The Irish Society School; Coleraine National School; Bohill; Portstewart/Ballaghran; Coleraine Academical Institution; Coleraine Model; St Malachys; St Johns; Blagh Public Elementary School.

Occasionally I may make a trip to PRONI.  It will cost £10 a record.  Contact me for this research.   Below is a transcription of a page from the Irish Society School in Coleraine.
