Here in the United States, I think the hospitals at one time provide birth announcement as a public service. There would be a fee for marriage or engagement announcements; I suppose also a fee for obituaries. We have a terrible identity theft problem and I am wondering if it is no longer wise to publicize any of this information. ??

Does anyone have any info on what nursing schools were in New Brunswick in the 1930's? I have a photo of my grandmother Hilda Laws (nee Anderson) from before she was married. She's standing out side a building called Robinson Memorial 1819 (might also be 1918 hard to read). I was told she's wearing a training uniform. She was born in Chatham, NB and the family moved to Marysville, NB when her mother was widowed and remarried. After graduating I believe she was working in the hospital in Fredericton. So I'm thinking that it should be in that area maybe... I have the photo up on my blog if it helps. http://footstepspast.blogspot.com/2011/01/almost-wordless-wednesday-grandma-laws.html Thanks, Kim ----- No virus found in this message.

Kim: There was a Robinson Memorial Nursing School in Boston MA, active in the 30s, and it is quite likely New Brunswick girls went there for training. See: http://books.google.ca/books?id=1XEXAQAAIAAJ&q=%22Robinson+memorial%22+nursing+boston&dq=%22Robinson+memorial%22+nursing+boston&hl=en&ei=dV9ATaTQBIH88AbYu8CFBA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CDcQ6AEwAg Hope this helps.

I'm not sure I can help you with the 1930s, but my grandmother, mina Colwell, is recorded in the 1901 census as a pupil at Victoria Hospital in Fredericton. Even in the 1960s, student nurses trained in hospital.
