1. Application to the Waifs and Strays' Society 14 January 1903

View the Case Summary.

H was brought up at an Orphanage-Sutton & nothing is known if his relatives. Mrs. [?] is clean & willing to work, but cannot do so while she has so many children to look after. She gave satisfaction when she scrubbed at the infirmary. Her children are well cared for. She has been known to the Trinity Mission Visitor for the last four years - Her baby was only a few months old when the father died, he had been suffering from a bad leg for many years & so ill many months before his death & died in the Havill Street Infirmary.
I guarantee that £5.0.0 shall be paid yearly for the support of H in one of the C.E.W. & S. Homes.
