Hi Christine,
OK - here are a few bits and pieces. There seem to be records around for the House of Mercy - so you may be able to find out who this person was. I gather you don't have her name??
Your best bet will be to
Send an email to the Archivist, Richard Knight
Local Studies and Archives Manager
Holborn Library
32-38 Theobalds Road
London
WC1X 8PA
Highgate Library: - email to (as I have it below) :
send camden local studies and archives centre your enquiry
also the Guildhall hold this manuscript.
LONDON DIOCESAN PENITENTIARY, of Park house, Highgate, established in 1854 for the "reception and reformation of fallen women". Taken over in 1900 by the Clewer sisters, and became known at a later date as the House of Mercy. Closed in 1940. 1854-1952. Also deeds from 1732. L 22.86 Ms 18532-
Christina Rossetti was an Associate Sister of Mercy at Highgate Penitentiary which is probably no help to you.........there is an Anglican related report on the net which was done in 2006 - so plenty of data is around.
In North Hill the largest house, and the farthest back from the road, was Park House, which had been converted into a refuge for prostitutes in 1848 and leased as the London Diocesan Penitentiary (later the House of Mercy) in 1855. It had beds for 60 girls in 1877, was taken over by the Clewer Sisters in 1900, and closed in 1940, From: 'Hornsey, including Highgate: Highgate', A History of the County of Middlesex: Volume 6: Friern Barnet, Finchley, Hornsey with Highgate (1980), pp. 122-135. URL: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=22519. Date accessed: 26 February 2008.
Let me know how you get on with the archivist - think he will probably be the best one to help you.

Hi Cougar, I hope you do not mind me asking but I have a small problem,
On checking the 1851 Census For Sarah Peat Age 21 Bn. Liverpool, I found her living at 22 New Ormond Street , This seems To be a school As she was one of 3 teachers + a Matron, The children all seem to be girls Ages between 16 and 19.
Is there any way That I can Find what type of School this is ?
Later Sarah Peat went to Cheltenham Training Collage.
1857
She was a student at Cheltenham Training College [Sponsered by Mrs Kinnaird]
From the admission records Sarah Peat joined the college in 1857 and spent a year there in which time she gained a 2nd Class qualification and QS (Queen's Scholar) status. The Government paid for her fees like those of most of her contemporaries,
as Queen's Scholars.
Interestingly, unlike the majority of her fellow students, she was not previously Pupil Teacher (that is someone who monitored younger children whilst continuing to receive an education herself) but was 1st Teacher at Mrs Kinnaird’s School atNo.1 Pall Mall.London
Note. Mrs Kinnaird was in fact Lady Mary Jane Kinnaird wife of Arthur Fitzgerald Kinnaird the 10th Baron Kinnaird.
hope you can help
Thank you Eddie

With Ref to my previous request re "22 New Ormond Street"
After reading previous Threads I contacted The Archivist at Camden Local Studies and Archives Centre, Ihad a answer by return,
Have checkedthe 1851 London street directory and this lists No. 22 New Ormond Street as being St John's Servants' School.
Regards Eddie
