Hi all! Thanks so much! She was part of little sisters of the poor, we received a card when she died my grandad kept it, she reportedly got pregnant in marries, she came from a very Catholic family I wonder if she was sent because she was pregnant. Her name was sister anna Martin or possibly anne when she wasn't a nun.
Thanks for the help my grandma has always wondered what happened to her

Is Martin the Surname??

My grandad received a card with her photo on her date and age of death and on the bottom it has an address for Dublin. I tried googling it but nothing came up.

Hi,

There is a probate record for her,

Probate Date:  8 Aug 1966
MARTIN Anne of St Peters Home, Meadow Road, London, S.W.8 died 9 February 1965 at St Thomas Hospital London S.E.1. Probate London 8 August to Florence MCDONOUGH Spinster. £243.


You could get a copy here, I found it searching 1966 not 1965,

https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/Calendar?surname=martin&yearOfDeath=1966&page=3#calendar


It looks like the the Little Sisters of the Poor are still there,

Maybe they could give you some more info.

Daisy
