Most unmarried mothers' homes were run by charities or by religious organisations.

The Church Army certainly was one such organisation, and many orders of nuns undertook the running of homes..

To find info about the one you name....try googling

What is your interest in this?

As an unmarried mother in those days her situation would have been an unhappy one.

Elizabeth it is best to keep to one thread about this person as you are only going to get asked the same questions over and over
