I've gone back over the segment where they look at the Parochial Board Minutes (with Annie Lennox running her ungloved finger along the paper under each line as she read it out!) and this is the only entry they showed:
Janet Fraser
There was recd letters of date 29th April and 11th May from Mrs Cruickshank Turriff in reference to Janet Fraser whereupon the meeting direct the Inspector to write to Mrs Cruickshank to send back Janet Fraser when she has no further use for her.
The archivist stated that there was no further reference to Janet Fraser or Mrs Cruickshank in the minutes, although he didn't actually say whether there were any earlier references. I don't think there was any mention of the actual letters being available but later on Annie seemed to be saying that "no further use for her" were Mrs Cruickshank's words, whereas as far as I can see, they were the words of the Parochial Board members! We really don't know what Mrs Cruickshank said in the letters, do we?
