Madam, - I am currently undertaking research for an MA in history at NUI Galway on governesses in Ireland in the early decades of the 20th century. I would be grateful to hear from anyone who worked as a governess or private tutor for females before 1939 or anyone who received any part of their education in the care of a resident or visiting governess in the home at any time before this date.
I will answer all letters received. - Yours, etc,
THERESA KELLY, Taught Masters Programme, Department of History, NUI Galway.
