A pity whoever is looking for Nora Sinclair did not contact the Assumption Convent first. She is recorded as an orphan in the accounts from04.10.1900 to 19.12.1905. her sponsors were a Miss Clarke and Miss Pauline Hingeston, a major benefactress to the convent. She made a journey costing £1"2"0 on 19th Dec. 1905 but the Accounts do not say the destination. parents are not named.
For prices at the time (7 shillings to London) I think this could well be to Newhall.
