Register of Oldham Hulme Grammar School for Boys

Transcript of the school register for the period May 1895 to July 1933 - Chronological Listing.

To comply with Data Protection Regulations, the name of any pupil born after December 1918 is excluded from this published register. Queries concerning pupils who may appear in later registers should be sent to archive@ohgs.co.uk. Whilst every effort has been made to transcribe the registers accurately, some pages are in poor condition and many are difficult to read.

Details of scholarship awards are not available for all year groups. Additional information such as university degrees or employment after leaving school is shown in the original registers for some year groups. Where appropriate we have added similar information from our research, particularly for boys who were born before 1901. Further details for this group may be found in the WW1 section of our website.
