School admission registers are a valuable source for genealogy research. Names below are from my index to Cooktown Boys' State School admission registers, Jan 1885 to May 1889. Registers for later years also exist. Details given in the original source are date of admission, pupil's name, age, residence (usually a street), religion, parent's occupation, month/year in each class, and month/year of leaving or returning to the school (but in a few cases some information is missing because page edges have crumbled).

Genealogy is my business (not just a hobby), so I charge fees for my time, regardless of the result. I've spent over 35 years learning about (and indexing) original records, and it takes time to consult my index, travel to a record office in Brisbane, find the relevant bundle/volume and file/page, create digital images and send them to you.
If you want a digital image of the original document (sent via the Internet), my fee is $10 (total) for up to ten names from the list above. See how to send requests and payment (my email address is on that page).
Cooktown Hospital admission registers (indexed).
Residents of Cooktown in 1874 (index to a petition with their signatures).
Cooktown burials and headstones (published book).
Queensland School Pupils Index
