Can anyone trace Adelaide Springett?
« on: Sunday 26 October 14 18:47 GMT (UK) »
In yesterday's Guardian magazine were some late Victorian photos of children, including one beautiful little girl called Adelaide Springett; she's wearing a black dress, shawl and hat, a sad face, and her feet are bare and filthy.

The caption says: "Adelaide Springett Born in Feb 1893 in Wapping, both her parents were street sellers. Adelaide's twin sisters, Ellen and Margaret, died at birth; another sister, Susannah, died age 4. Adelaide's last known address was recorded in 1901 when, aged 8, she lodged with her mother at a Salvation Army shelter".

Adelaide's birth seems to be this one
Births Jun 1893 
Springett    Adelaide Ann        St. Geo. East    1c   348

I can see her on the 1901 with her mother, Mary Springett age 39; Mary;s status is listed as "u", which I suspect means she was unmarried. However on school admissions books, Adelaide's father is given as John.

She's 5th photo down here:

This little girl's face is haunting me! Can we find out what happened to her?

Maybe - but the F as the middle name seems wrong ---

Here's the twins:

Springett    Ellen         St.Geo.East    1c   409   
Springett    Margaret         St.Geo.East    1c   409

Springett    Ellen    0    St. Geo. East    1c   316   
Springett    Margaret    0    St. Geo. East    1c   316

A could easily be transcribed as an F.

Having said that, Adelaide Florence Springett who was born in Maidstone 1874 is in Islington in 1911, so that is probably her. A late marriage, but as there are no Coxon/Springett children very possible.

Might be worth a look at - there are 2 dates of birth given for her as February 1892/93 and an 'alias' of Adelaide Ann Springett

Can't see an Adelaide Springett marrying a Harling though...step father's name?
