A short life for a mother who entered Long Grove when her youngest child was barely a month old.
SOPER, George Edward Worsley
In the 1881, George’s occupation was given as a ‘language teacher’. He was living in the house of a teacher of pianoforte, and one of the other boarders was a professor of singing and elocution, all of which suggests a very refined and respectable household.
COMPTON, Emma
The story of Emma Compton appeared unexceptional at the outset. However, we did uncover a few surprises during our research.

ROENNE (Ferdinand) Frederick Adam
This is the fabulous story of a true man of mystery – a confidence trickster, fraudster and swindler. He also may have been an accomplished airship and naval engineer. Right at the beginning of WW1, this story raises more questions than the answers it gives.
SAGE, Henry Charles
No reason is given for Henry Charles’s admission to Long Grove. He was a munitions worker just prior to entry.
