	No mention of it in the Times Archives. I tried to search the Scotsman Archives, but even using the Advanced search option, it came up with thousands of entries with the word Steel!!

	You can find a lot of info if you google "steele foundation" in quotation marks. Marg Hey! Just noticed with the new improvements to the site quotation marks show as "this" instead of 'this'.
	Researching: Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)
