http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/79918189

Since 1877 the Reformatory Prison for Women under successive names has had as its function the punishment and rehabilitation of female offenders. Until 1958 it was possible for children of inmates (either born while mother was an inmate or admitted with mother) to stay at the reformatory with their mothers (St 1958, c 588). This register was created to record information concerning these children.
