NZ to UK 1950s Lookup
« on: Tuesday 25 June 13 20:36 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone,

If anyone can help as i would really appreciate a lookup for my aunt; i believe she worked as a nurse in NZ after WW2 & that she returned home via Glasgow port sometime in the late 1950s.

i dont have access to Ancestry & Find My Past only has the outgoing passenger lists. Her name was Marie T Clare born 1923, British Citizen,  She had arrived via Wellington.

Kind regards

Sharon

I saw that one, but wasn't sure if it is the right one as the image says she was what looks like school teacher and was a Canadian citizen. She was on a visit to Hull.

Hi JJ,

Many thanks for such a quick reply. i certainly wasnt expecting to see her in Canada as i have her arriving in NZ in 1957.

In 1964 she must still be a nurse as the London Electoral Registers has her recorded at Archway Wing, Whittington Hospital.

Yes she became Matron @ a London hospital but i think she had retired by the mid 1970s as i remember visiting her as a child in Ealing where she then lived.  i think she trained @ Leeds General in the 1930/40s

Was she the one born in Knaresborough in 1923?

I'm still puzzled though as this is what it says about her on the image - she was visiting for 2 months
