About Caroline Chisholm
In a village called Wootton, a Catholic girl was born into
the world in a little farmhouse in England. The year was 1808 and little did her parents know, Caroline Chisholm, or Caroline
Jones as she would have been, she would change the lives of many women.
While she was still young,
her father died. She spent more time with her mother who still found enough food to give to the less fortunate.
When
she was 22 years old she married a man called Archibald Chisholm on a condition , “…that he should leave
her free to do any philanthropic work she wished.” He accepted and all through their marriage, he supported her.
