Open the page in your original link. Click on the catalogue number. you get this page http://calmview.birmingham.gov.uk/C...px?src=CalmView.Catalog&field=RefNo&key=S+130wam i think you will find the 100 year ruling has well passed with regards to these men ??..they were all born in the 1800s and all died at least 100 years ago...just because the mary st school admissions register may run until 1940 does not mean its closed with regards to the fallen men..maybe someone should approach the archives dept at birmingham library...
just as an aside i was able to view my infants and juniors admissions page (1958) but what was out of bounds was the punishment records...

Look at that page for Access Status and it says Closed (Content) . That means they won't let you look at it. Since it's already 75 years since the finishing date, I assume it's the 100 year rule. There are some things where they don't apply this. The Local History Society has a project on the emigration homes and because a lot of the material has been duplicated on the internet in Canada, they're applying Canadian rules to parts of that archive (75 years).
Looking at the way they've listed it, I'm surprised they let you at your record. Nevertheless, that's what they say the access and I wouldn't guarantee that they'd let anyone at the relevant bits.
