I have been interested to see the posts about Nurses in the Boer War. My great grandmother, Agnes Beatrice Clara BAKER's South African Death Notice describes her as a Nurse, born in Brighton England. She died in 1904 and at that time was living in Addington , Durban. I understand that there is a big hospital in Addington today. I have wondered if there is any sort of list of qualified Nurses who worked there. I have been unable to find out much about her and the only record of her maiden name which is on the record of her first marriage, to ROBERTS in 1879 in Bloemfontein Cathedral, is BOWLEYN. I have tried all the spelling variations I can think of but without success. She must be there somewhere, but where!
