279D: A girl, a ghost and a kitten

I’m looking for a older child/young adult book.  It is set in earlier times, though I can’t recall for certain if it was as far back as Victorian.  A young girl goes to live with an older, severe relative.  She has a hard life but is befriended by a small grey kitten and a mysterious girl who is a ghost.  The ghost gives the girl clues to the cause of her unrest  The girl refers to the kitten as “gray one” or “little gray one”.

    The book was published in England as “House in the Wood” and in the US as “A Sound of Crying.” It was written by Rodie Sudbury and originally published in 1968.
