Lookup KEW Register of Nurses
« on: Tuesday 31 July 12 16:32 BST (UK) »
I am trying to locate the burial place of my grand aunt in England
However I am hindered by the information on her being quite scant

Her name was Brigid/Bridget MANNION (sometimes spelt MANNING);
she was born on Dec 2 1886 to Andrew MANNION and Brigid McDERMOTT
in Cloonkeen, Castlerea, Co. Roscommon
and baptised a Roman Catholic on Dec 18 1886
She is listed on the 1911 Irish census living with my grandfather John in Roscommon

Family lore is that she went to England and became a nurse and subsequently a matron
and that she died in the late 1950s or 1960s without marrying.
An aunt of mine visited her grave in the 1970s and photographed the grave but
unfortunately she is now deceased and I do not know what became of many of her possessions.
Another Aunt (her niece who is now 90) thinks she lived in a location that began with "B"
but unfortunately this varies from Brighton to Blackpool!!
My mother who would have been a niece-in-law seems sure that it was on the coast
possibly in Kent, as the aunt who visited didn't travel far from London to visit the grave.

I have just been made aware of a register of nurses that is held at Kew - DETAILS

I would sincerely appreciate if anyone is travelling to Kew to view these records if they could look her up for me please, if there is enough information here.
Equally if anyone can suggest another way of sourcing information on her - thank you

Hi Again My Luck,

The PM with the Maidstone ,Kent death referred to above  is worth a look. Maidstone Hospital is in the general area of Barming in Maidstone,Kent and she may well have lived within the area.

Did you establish whether you had the certificate that I suggested

Sorry Rosie
Yes and there was nothing to provide a link to any family

I can't look to be 100% accurate right now but it stated that she was single and the address was a nursing home that I contacted
When I get back I'll see if I can locate it

I would hope that the register of nurses would be a better bet for a confirmed connection
