WOW! Thank you so much KG!!
I did have some of this information but not about the boarding school!
Harriet and her children are a great story - they all immigrated to Canada in the early 20's
Harriet's sister, Jane is my ggrandmother who moved to Scotland but Jane's grand daughter (my mum) also emigrated to Canada! As I have been working on the family tree, I found Harriet et al only about 6 years ago. My mum had no idea she had relatives in Canada!
Such a shame. Harriet died in 1952 but her children were still alive at the time my mother emigrated. They have all passed away now, of course but there is still a tail of the family in the wind. The eldest sister of Harriet and Jane also emigrated to Canada (popular place!) and her decendents are still with us. I have been in contact but they have neither information nor interest in the family history. Again. a shame.
