Registers giving abstracts of correspondence between schools and the Commissioners of National Education exist in an almost complete series from 1835 to the early 1850s (ED.6/1).
In addition to much of the information to be found in the grant aid applications, these registers list all previous teachers as well as those currently in post. They also record entries for the appointments of new patrons, and the amount of money received by each school every year from pupils (not recorded elsewhere) is noted.
For the period 1835-55 these registers are arranged by county. Each National School has a Roll Number.
