Hi all Any hints of where to look for records for a Nursing Sister married in SA 26 Apr 1881 St Luke Church Adelaide South Australia She was born in Yorkshire c 1860 and according to the information on her death certificate she was in Australia from c 1874 so would estimate she was 14 when she moved. With or without her family? Also because of her age she trained in Australia, but could she have been in service to a Doctor who emigrated and she went as well? Her name Alice (Ann on some certificates and not on others) Jackson father John Some hint of a family story that she went with her brother searching for their father, so suspect mother dies around this time. No real help from census records to date as the likely ones by name can all be found by marriage or 1881 census still in UK.

Hi Bob, The General Nursing Council for Nursing was not established until 1919, see the NMC web site  Each country had their own register. http://www.nmc-uk.org/About-us/The-history-of-nursing-and-midwifery-regulation/ She will therefore not be on any records there. Before 1919 probationer nurses were given a certificate on completion of their course by their training hospital. I doubt very much that someone of 14 would have been old enough to enter training but individual hospitals training records are often deposited at local archives.

My mystery deepens when I unpacked a case of photos today. Among them are some dura type (on glass photos) and on the back of one is Nurse Jackson 1854 Died 1860 (this is the alleged date of birth of Alice below - did she die in child birth - but also Alice was a Nurse + midwife) then two other names Alfred 1854 (son I am guessing) and I think it is Shirley 1857 (dau?) then To Edith May 9 1907 There is another that could have been the same woman at a younger age or could be a daughter and another of three women, the centre one, I believe is the said nurse and of the other two, one dress in dark clothing like her maybe a sister and the other in white maybe a younger sister or niece. There is also a male - is it the Alfred above or her husband? On all these there is a familial likeness. Two other photos are definitely different. One of them is a Marrett as it matches another photo I have and the other may be a Richards as it fits into the families that are connected and a likeness to a descendant. The Marrett photos are possibly John c 1820-1892 Modbury and or Samuel c 1859-1929 Dry Creek/Gilles Plains. Also a photo of a group of ladies in white uniform with a cross at the front of the veil and a sigh Modbury Circle top and bottom of a circle with a cross in the centre. Standing slightly separate as you would expect a matron is a woman who looks very much like the Nurse Jackson above.
