[APG Public List] help needed locating English school records

[Debbie Petrides]

Let's see if the 3rd time is the charm.
 
We've been lucky in the past few months to uncover a few nuggets about our 4th great-grandfather
 
Stephanos Casanova who was born ca. 1810 on the island of Chios, Greece (then Ottoman).
 
>From a Danish book that by some miracle we found on Google books and managed to translate partially, 
 
we learned that he ended up in the UK in 1824, educated at Borough Road school with other orphans and
 
escapees (some well-heeled) from the Greek Revolution of 1821. In trying to validate this, a modern
 
journal discussing the history of the BFSS (British Foreign and School Society) cited the following
 
source for his "studenthood"

B.F.S.S. Annual Report xx (1825), pp. 20-1.
 
I've searched for this and I believe it is now housed at Borough Road, now part of West London 
 
Institute of Higher Education.

I'd like to enlist someone out there to dig this up for my family. Please contact me offline and send
 
me a quote.
 
We're hoping that more than just his name is listed in this Report.

Thank you so much
 
Debbie Sideratos-Petrides
