Nurse Family Norfolk - Northumbria
« on: Tuesday 22 August 17 20:57 BST (UK) »
Dear all the NURSE family members on this website - my maiden name is Nurse. My grandfather was born in Newcastle Upon Tyne. His father allegedly moved from Norfolk to Northumbria/Newcastle and followed the mines. My grandfather moved to South Yorkshire via Stoke On Trent. It looks like he had 5 sisters and brothers.

Any help with this would be great.

Hello Carlily

Welcome to Rootschat.

If you are looking for more information about your grandfather's family, some full names and years of birth would help us to find them.

We can then look for your grandfather and his family through the BMDs and census records.

From Carlily's other post:

'My grandfather was called William Nurse - married to Lillian Nurse nee Randal/Reynolds. They lived in South Yorkshire. I was born in Ireland - my father was called Thomas - he has a brother Michael and 2 sisters. I know all my cousins in Yorkshire but have found it difficult to get information on where my grandfather's brothers and sisters lived. '

I can see a marriage of a William Nurse to a Lilian Windle in Rotherham in 1927, but no Randal/Reynolds (and not Michael, but a Thomas)

Added:
Unless he is a William Michael, and there are several more births for possible siblings.

There is a Lilian (Lillian) Waites (1909) in 1939 register with a William Nurse, 1903, in Rotherham.

There is a marriage in Rotherham in 1972 for a Lilian Nurse and Leonard Waites.  Also a death in Rotherham in 1978 for Lilian Waites born 1909, and a birth for a Lilian Windle in Rotherham in 1909.

There is a death for a William Nurse born 1903 in 1962, Rotherham.

There is this birth for a William NUrse:

The Lillian you mentioned is my grandmother. I was told she had 3 differing surnames as a result of the Pensions act of 1903 and families registering.

I do remember my cousins telling me that Windle was one of the surnames of my grandmothers family.

I can confirm that William Nurse was my grandfather born in 1903. He was a very tall handsome man. Apparently with fairish hair and blue blue eyes.
