Notes In 1891, Lily Gertrude Wilkins, 4, inmate, in Bristol City Workhouse, Stapleton, Gloucestershire
Sent by Barton Regis Union,
with Daniel Campbell, farmer, St George, New Brunswick. Inspection undertaken on 15 Feb 1900
Age 15, good home, employed at housework, good health, does not attend church or school, character good, she is truthful and obedient. Terms-Board, Lodging and Clothing. This girl has shifted considerably. At her place she was given a good character, and from what I learned from her, I think that the changes she has made have been to her personal advantage. Mrs Campbell considers her a good girl
Lily Wilkins was first placed with Hugh Goss, farmer, Bonny River P.O, leaving here she went to Mrs Jane McVeiters where she remained from October 1899 to January 1900. She left here, she says because Mrs McVeiters said she had no work for her. Mrs McVeiters says she found her to be a girl of good character, but inclined to be bad tempered.
