I've recently become in possesion of a book which lists English Benedictine Novices from 1860-1920 and I'm willing to do lookups

If any of your ancestors went into the Catholic priesthood, or you've found them at one of the Benedictine colleges,(see below) during that time, you may find him listed in this book, which can give extra info - such as date of birth & mother's maiden name


The Colleges are:
St. Gregory's - Downside. Somerset
St. Laurence's - Ampleforth, Yorkshire
St. Edmund's - Douai/Douay - North West, France
St. Adrian & St. Denis - Lamspringein in Hildesheim, Germany. (later Broadway, Worcestershire)
St. Benedict's - Fort Augustus, Scotland
St. Michael's - Belmont, Herefordshire?
