The Teachers' Registrations give details of nearly 100,000 people who taught in England and Wales bertween 1870 and 1948; more than half of those are women.

From 1914, many teachers in England and Wales (and elsewhere) registered with the Teachers Registration Council. The original registration records for the period up to 1948 (after which registration was abandoned) were deposited with the Society of Genealogists. The Origins Network has now scanned and indexed these records to make them publically available for the first time, on British Origins.

Although registration only started in 1914, since people who were already teaching registered, the records cover teachers who started their careers from the 1870s on.
