Scope and content
‘Sister Faith’ applied in 1913 to board infants at her Salisbury Avenue home in Victoria Park. She then took premises at 110 Trafalgar Road, East Perth. Sister Faith died in February 1922. The file seems largely to be about the Department’s concerns about her, and trying to get her to properly register as a Home for children. She latterly had The Homestead in Maddington which was deserted in March 1923. A ‘Sister Mercy’ has been working with her but could not be traced after Sister Faith’s death.
