Matlock Presentation Convent Boarding School

[vixsey]

Hi there - just saw your notice on this site. I am a past pupil of Pres Convent, Matlock - I was there in the 1970's.  I have just written a book on the convent which incorporates all the memories and photos (go to www.presentationsisters website for details).  I am not sure if you found the records that you were looking for but there are a lot in the convent's Heritage Room .. if you contact them via the sisters website I am they will be more than happy to help.  They are also very keen for old past pupils to contact them so that they can record the details etc Best of luck Victoria

Victoria, many thanks for your reply and link which I've had a look at.

Re the records I was searching for-no I haven't located them yet as I had received another piece of information in which mentioned Howrah House as the girls school. I think this was in London. I've been trying to confirm this without much luck so far.
I am going to write to the Sisters and enquire re my Aunts. It just may be possible they find their records amongst their collection which would be wonderful as I would also then be able to provide them with information for their archives.

Thank you very much again Victoria,

Regards,

Siobhan
