I came across a list of students in the Driffield Academy in the Hull Advertiser, of 1813.  I am not specifically researching schools in the area, but if I find anything else of interest, I will post it on here.  If anyone else has any research in their files, relevant to schools in the area, I would be more than pleased to add it to this site to share with others.
