Case 3303

1. Application to Waifs and Strays' Society 13 September 1892

View the Case Summary.

Four children left orphan & destitute through father murdering mother & committing suicide under temporary insanity. The parents were respectable [?] Sunday school teachers. The old grandparents are unable to take charge of all these young children. The children are well behaved likely to do well. The case seems to me urgent. The old grandfather is willing to do what he can but is getting very infirm & the only Uncle is not strong & Lace Trade is very bad
