Alfred Bourne and the educational campaigners Emily Shirreff and Maria Grey. In 1881, she lived at 9-10 Norland Square as "proprietor and teacher of Kinder Garten." She was sister of Henrietta Frances Lord, who was a feminist, a Poor Law guardian, and a friend of Olive Schreiner. In 1892, she opened the Norland Institute, a training school for nanny girls and children's nurses, and in the following years steered it to a position of international respect. She died on 15 June 1930, in Bognor. Private life In 1891, at the age of 40, she married Walter Cyril Ward. Notes References Stokes, Penelope (1992).
