Thanks, Liz, that`s super.
You may be interested to know that Kate my Grandmother, married into the Green family of Seaford. I have traced them back to 1550 and I still have a cousin living in Seaford. None of us fell very far from the tree.

Good point LKL (initials havent fooled me - I know who you really are!!)
And, seeing as Convent didnt start till 1903, and that she is 28ish in 1901 (not 19 as we were first looking for)
How about this as a possible for 1901
RG13 197 145 35
44 Aberdeen Place Islington
Elizabeth Alexander 72 living on own means bn London
Nellie Adams 29 friend First Class dressmaker bn London

Hi,
The best source for information about a nun is the "motherhouse" of her order. That's where records of all the women who entered the order would be kept. I've know idea where the English motherhouse might be but here's a link to what seems to be a large group of Sisters of Providence in England. I'd try contacting them and getting their advice.

thats an interesting site for the history of the Order .... but strange it doesnt mention Seaford amongst the UK places ?
My earlier find and Grooms phone number (find) will hopefully progress things ?
