An alumni list necessarily is subject to BLP concerns, and must be sourced correctly to avoid such issues. It is usual with alumni lists to give an arbitrary few days of grace after placing the {{ alumni}} tag in the section, but edotors are quite correct if they remove unreferenced alumni on sight form the list.

Forster died in 1866 and was succeeded by his son. The place appears to have become something of a shambles - a court hearing is reported in The Manchester Guardian, 29 November 1883, page 3, that basically amounts to a successful claim brought by one of the masters for constructive dismissal. According to this, there was no discipline worthy of the name: the kids pretty much did whatever they wanted. - Sitush ( talk) 17:14, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
I have made a set of assumptions. These may require correction by someone with special knowledge.
Please add new alumni in the correct position in the list. Fiddle Faddle ( talk) 20:06, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
I am a bit concerned about George Eyston being in the list of alumni. Sure, he is dead but neither Who Was Who nor his obituary in The Times mention Stubbington. Nor do his admission records held by Trinity College, Cambridge (I've asked them today, using one of my contacts, after first ascertaining that he has no entry in Venn). He certainly went to Stonyhurst although that, of course, does not preclude him having attended SHS beforehand. - Sitush ( talk) 17:37, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
The entries below are removed from the list of alumni due to lack of verification. Aside from web searches, attempts have been made to verify using obituaries, Who Was Who and the ODNB (all behind paywalls) & also by referencing the sources in the linked articles. - Sitush ( talk) 22:41, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
There is a frustrating snippet here. - Sitush ( talk) 11:51, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
