St Clares Convent

A Memory of Pantasaph.

Anne, did you know that the Sisters of Charity of Our Lady of Mercy also had an orphanage in Preston - St Joseph's - which would appear to have been even worse than St Clare's?  And there's an exceedingly boring book about this order - "We agreed to be different" - which is published online and contains a photo of the Pantasaph orphans with the Reverend Mother. She looks stern and ugly, while all the kiddies look unhappy. And if any of those kids, or their relatatives, want genealogical details, I believe that these may be obtained at Hawarden [Flintshire Archive].
