Have you tried the 1901 census to see if any of them are on that?

That has an Isabel Saunders born Jamaica, Kingston age 14 but she was in
Bournemouth.

There was certainly at least one school (the name of which now escapes me) in Bournemouth at around that time that took such young ladies from the then far flung empire, and in addition arranged accommodation during school holidays when needed. Bournemouth at that time was expanding from a little fishing village to a staid and up market Victorian resort and retirement location. (It was just about as respectable as Cheltenham).

The limit which divided the possessions of the English settler from those of the native Irish was called the pale; and the expressions of inhabitants within the pale, and without the pale, were the terms by which the two nations were distinguished. Rev. Sydney Smith 1771-1854, Canon of St. Paul's.
