I wanted to let you know I have written a short article on all the children who were adopted by the James family. They lived in the Crossing Keeper's Cottage in Upper Soudley around 100 years ago.

This article is a free PDF download from my website. It can be accessed via https://www.nickduberley.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/The-Crossing-keepers-Cottage.pdf

If anyone would rather me email them the file, just message me with your email address, please.

The article covers what I finally managed to find out about Edith Kate Virgo, as well as several other adoptees.
