| Description: |
E. was an orphan. She was admitted to St Mark's Home, Carnarvon on 18 February 1898. In February 1903 her conduct was described as "very unsatisfactory" and removal to a Training School in Oxford was considered. She went into service in July 1903 but was dismissed in December the same year for "sulkiness". She re-entered St Mark's Home. Over the next few months she had a few more attempts at entering domestic service and becoming a laundry maid. The final item on the file is a note of her changing her situation to "better herself" by entering employment at Duncombe Park, Helmsley, Yorkshire in April 1905. |
