We are trying to trace relatives of anyone who attended St Marys Industrial Home for girls in Eastleigh between 1884-1924.
Eastleigh Library holds a fascinating day book from the school, and we are hoping to identify some of the girls mentioned, to build up a collection of photographs and memories of those who attended 'The Happy Home'.
Girls from the home left either to go to other institutions, into service or back to their families.
Margaret O'Brien, Born 1889, Whitechapel, was sent to St Marys Home in Eastleigh in 1897 following the death of her mother. We don't know where her sister Catherine ( Kitty) was sent.
Margaret O'Brien aged approx 24 years in Canada working as a nursery governess.
An exhibition will be held during Local History Month, September 2006 at Eastleigh Library and information from the exhibition will be put onto
'Hantsphere' - Hampshire's Heritage on the Web.
