I think I have the same info as others. I did find a reference that many of the girls were from London. One document it was as many as two thirds. Found it just by Googling. Have you tried to find out if they may have been baptized whilst there? May give real name.

I do not know if this is of interest to the Rootschatters who were discussing the girls' school at Waterlooville. Facebook search Hampshire & Waterlooville Area Nostalgia. Long discussion (with pictures) going on about the boys' school but does refer to the girls as well.
