• Notes

  The next letter is undated but states: "We the undersigned residents of Broomfield, respectfully wish that you favourably consider our request to again place the Broomfield Schoolunderseparate control, thereby allowing the whole of the Broomfield children to attend the said school instead of compelling them on wet days towalk twomiles in the rain, as at present, and having to sit all day in their wet clothes. This winter the latter has seriously affected the healthof manyof the children and also greatly interfered with their attendance. We also desire to draw your attention to the fact that there are children living in Broomfield who would be benefitted providing that you couldseeyour way clear to gratifying our request." This was signed by John and also his two children Alfred and Walter. They must have been successful as the next document is a list of the children and who would be moved on 1st September 1905 from 3rd class at No1719Broomfield to 4th class at No 2420 Allendale, and those who were staying at No 1719 in 3rd class. There are no Hetherington children listedbutthere is a map of Broomfield showing the position of the school and the families' houses, including two marked as Hetherington.
