[kiterunner]

This is the main database:
UK & Ireland Nursing Registers 1898-1968 (http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=60423)

There are also a couple of smaller databases:
UK & Ireland Queen's Nursing Institute Roll of Nurses 1891-1931 (http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=61098)
Scotland Nursing Applications 1921-1945 (http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=9300)

What sort of information does the UK & Ireland Nursing Register contain please? My aunt is on it, but my Ancestry sub has lapsed now.

[Merry]

My aunt is in there too!. For her entry there are five columns headed up:

Reg. No. ..Name ...Permanent Address....Date and Place of Registration....Qualifications

For my aunt the address is where she was living immediately after she qualified; in my grandparents home. The date and place of registration for her is 28 Mar 1947, London and her qualifications: General Infirmary Salisbury, 1944-1947. By Examination.

I already knew my aunt passed her first set of exams in 1947 having trained at Salisbury.

Thankyou, I expect I'll take out a month's sub once Ancestry put those Oxfordshire records on in October (?) so I'll take a look then - her birthday's in October so I'll be able to give her a copy.

Thank you, Kite.....

I can see two of my Ansboro cousins there and a third one there who i haven't heard of before....need to get myself a sub!

[James18]

My aunt's on it also. :D

I have let my ancestry sub lapse. I wonder if someone could kindly find my Aunt. Kathleen Tutt born in 1900. I think she qualified probably about 1920 in Hammersmith but I am not completely sure.

[Merry]

There are half a dozen or so entries for this woman:


Name:
Kathleen Mary Tutt

Residence Year:
1928

Residence Place:
London, N.4

Registration Date:
18 Dec 1925

Publisher:
General Nursing Council for England & Wales

#she was living at 25 Hermitage Rad, Finsbury Park for this first one. If she is the right person I can type the entries out in full.

[anne fraser]

Thanks Merry. I am not sure if that is the right woman. I don't know much about her. The family story is that she was illegitimate and grew up in a children's home which she tried to keep quiet. I Know when she married in 1939 she was a sister at Hammersmith hospital accident and emergency department.

[Merry]

Is this her?


Births Jun 1900
Tutt Kathleen Marian W. Ashford 2a 848

I couldn't find a marriage in 1939, but I thought I found the above lady on the 1939 register, single b 22 Mar 1900 occ Clerk At Sanatorium and living in Ashford Kent with Mary Tutt b 30 May 1868 widow (her mother?). However, I wasn't convinced that was the right person.

EDIT- that can't be the right person if your relative married, as the above Kathleen died in unmarried in 1974 (matching dob given at death)

The Kathleen Mary I posted details for in #8 probably isn't yours as her entries in the nursing register go up to the mid-1940s, so after your aunt married.

I couldn't find anyone who fitted the story on the 1901/11 census either or another birth reg in 1900 :o

[anne fraser]

I am sorry I did not check the marriage it was 1940 Brentford to Donovan Horne. I don't have a middle name for her. I have seen the Ashford birth but I have nothing to confirm it and if she was a clerk in 1939 it seems unlikely to be her. Thanks for looking.

[Merry]

The Ashford birth lady can't be her as she didn't marry (well, unless she divorced and changed her name back perhaps?)

I can't find a birth or death for her or her husband. If she was your aunt would she not be with one or more of your grandparents in 1901 and 1911? I guess it's not that simple!

[Merry]

Here's her husband to be (toy boy!) in Croydon in 1939:

Donovan E Horne 27 Jan 1914 Pharmacist

[anne fraser]

Her husband was my mother's brother. I have full details for him and deaths for both of them. I just wondered if the nursing register had any details to identify her. It is not important just idle curiosity.

[Merry]

OK, well I cant find anything else on the nursing register which seems very odd.
