I'm new to this site so hoping this message goes to bob who was researching Minnie Christine Johnson, sister of Noble Cecil.

They were my partner's aunt and uncle, and we are trying to trace many in the family. I was actually arching the address in Halls Lane, Walton on Naze when I came across your post.

Do you know if Christine went to South Africa? Or have any information about another brother George?
Regards
Julie

I am new to Rootschat so am struggling a little to know where to post things. I have found the information here very interesting and was wondering if anyone could help me with my search. I have an Isabella Rennie  (My Grandfather's first wife) who at the time of her marriage in 1917, states she was a Staff Nurse at Mile End Military Hospital, Bancroft Road. I should love to find information about her training and where she was living at this time, as the marriage certificate gives her residence as the hospital.

It's never possible to be certain whether nurses were with the military nursing services or working as civilians within military hospitals.  However, there is a service file at The National Archives for an 'Isabel Rennie' a member of Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service Reserve which could be relevant.  It can be downloaded for a fee (£3.36).  I think that has to be the first move, though possible it could be a different woman.
