Anyone researching history of Josephy family in Leeds?

Question

I am interested in Henrietta - lived Headingley 1890s. She has a connection with my family and I am interested to know how they met.

Yes the census info you have both given is I believe for the lady I am looking for. My great grandmother Sarah Revell was born in 1889 and suffered from polio in childhood, which meant she was permanently disabled. Henrietta provided her with an education out of generosity. I have many letters and photos from her, signing herself Hetty, and I believe she moved back to Germany after a few years. I am interested to know how she met my family, as they lived in very different and distant parts of Leeds (Headingley and Beeston).
