For Elizabeth: The nuns resided at Orrell Mount (now the pub/restaurant). They were a French Benedictine order and were there from 1821 until 1835. The Nunnery (next door) was actually the school run by the nuns where young ladies were educated in languages, and numerous other subjects. See the book 'Orrell in old picture postcards' by Dr. Allan Miller, published 2000, obtainable from libraries.
