1906 Letter

Some years ago I managed to obtain around 35 letters which relate to a Great Grand Aunt of mine.

I spent around 18 months gathering all the records of the family. Their story was a very tragic one which took me from an industrial school, a workhouse for the grandfather of the girl and a children's home. (Wales & London)

I finally tracked down the children's home she was sent to and not believing any records would exist I still persisted and to my amazement managed to get all of these letters.

I enclose the text of one just as a sample and to prove to others that you should never give up.

6^th June 1906 (A letter from Mr Carnegie of the home to Florence Locke)
