My (somewhat remote) cousin, Mabel Elizabeth Adams b. 1887, was a nun in the order of the Poor Clares. In 1928 a group of the nuns moved from Herefordshire to a new convent in Park End Road, Workington. They were still there in 1939 and Mabel was there at that time as Assistant Superior. I'm trying to find out what happened to her and when she died. There is no longer a Poor Clares community in Workington. Where did they go, and when?
Does anyone know anything about them? It is an enclosed, contemplative order so I'm a bit reluctant to contact them directly although I've done that while researching someone from a more open order and they were incredibly helpful.
