=== '''Sydney Orphan School records - COD 506 ==='''
→Orphans: amend sub heading
Because the behaviour of the girls once in Sydney was most unsatisfactory the Colonial Secretary advised Madras that they would only consider taking girls aged 10 or 11 in future, however I don't know if any more girls came to Sydney.
Transcribed 13.5.2009 by Heather Hall at State Records NSW, Kingswood.
*Also listed in documents relating to the orphan girls was the Matron, MRS WOOLLER, who was employed in Madras to accompany the girls to Sydney. For her efforts she was paid £17/10/- before departure with another £17/10/- to be paid once she had discharged her duty to the girls on arrival in Sydney.
'''Notes by HH:'''
