The following are School Visitor's Reports for the Schools on Prince Edward Island extracted from Appendix W, Journal of the House of Assembly, Prince Edward Island, Third Session of the 17th General Assembly, Charlottetown, 1849. Each year, in accordance with the requirements of the Act, 10th Vic. Cap. 11., a report had to be made by "school visitors" on every school in the colony. You will note varying formats used by the three county visitors. It was tempting to put them all in the same format, but better to present them as entered in the Journal. Can you find any relatives teaching in the schools listed below?
