This from a meeting in Hampstead in 1853 regarding establishing one.

There are a number of articles around the country. They all seem similar.
A long one about the 20 yr history of one in Leamington Spa.
Very moralising

Great it seems this girl had been convicted of felony before being sent as an inmate but stole clothing from the matron and absconded less than a month of being sent to the home she was finally  arrested in a brothel having first pawning the matrons clothing!
Many thanks for your help and interest I wonder how successful they were.
