BRIEF NOTE

Victoria College is located in St. Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands, founded in 1852, providing secondary education to boys only. It was founded as a public school for islanders and boarders, although the boarding school is now closed.

A register was published by the school in 1930 with information on the pupils there, and often extra information, such as father, address, and subsequent career.

INDEX TO VICTORIA COLLEGE REGISTER: 1852-1929

This shows the name and index number of pupils at the school, together with the year of entrance.

A range of years is given for year of birth, based on possible age at admission. D.J. Cottrill in his excellent "Victoria College" gives the range of ages for admission in the early years of the school as ranging from 7 years to 11 years, which is clearly evident where brothers began at the same term. As time went on, this shifted towards present policy, which is admission at 11 years. However, some pupils joined the College late. An example of variance in age ranges, and dates of birth, is the Mecham family.
