Janet Johnson

Welfare worker. All we can find out about her is contained in her plaque in Redcross Street where she lived. She was the manager of the Central London School for Orphans and Destitute Children at Hanwell, a long commute from Redcross Street so perhaps she lived elsewhere at that time.
