Midlothian / Re: Dr Guthrie's Ragged Schools, Edinburgh

Probably too late, but I'm related to Margaret - she's my great great great uncle's daughter. We have photographs of her - and him - and there are quite detailed biographies here https://teara.govt.nz/en/biographies/2s24/sievwright-margaret-home and here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Sievwright Fanny Richardson was also a teacher, I believe in North Berwick - no idea if she had anything to do with Ragged Schools.

Sorry about the delay - have only just seen this.

Margaret is - or was - my great great aunt.

Family tradition says that she studied in a Nightingale hospital but I know no more than that.

Why do you ask?
