Thanks for that information, electoral register may help for 1913 depending on what time of year it was taken.

That site mentions that it was a Magdelen Home?

See: http://www.childrenshomes.org.uk/MH/

The link I mentioned was headed.

Probation home for girls Southwell House Newstead Grove. Nottingham

It mentions the act which began in 1907.

1913 Electoral Register probably won't have any women on it, and not many men?

Greater emancipation came in 1918 and 1928.

Do you think that Nottingham library would have any information about the girls that stayed at Southwell House in 1913

[KGarrad]

Maybe - worth asking.

Probably Northumberland Nottingham Archives is a better bet.
