Printed Ephemera — 1915-1917
Photograph of Mrs Pankhurst and her adopted children
Emmeline Pankhurst and her adopted children, Mary, Joan and Kathleen and Elizabeth. In 1915 Emmeline founded a home for illegitimate 'War babies' at 50 Clarendon Road, Kensington. Nurse Pine was employed to live at the address and to care for the children. In 1920 Emmeline moved to a cottage in Devon with 3 of the children Mary, Joan and Kathleen and in 1922 they were joined by Christabel Pankhurst and a fourth child Elizabeth. As she became older Emmeline found it more difficult to care for four children and Kathleen and Joan were found new adoptive parents.
