I have just found out that the daughters were sent to St Monica's Home for Girls in Cheltenham, Harriett Florence died in Cheltenham General Hospital and was buried at St Mary's 18 Feb 1915 as an orphan (her father was still alive though.) Family legend says she died of a broken heart, though I suspect TB like her mother. Will send for the death cert.
