Missing nun

[Meaghangower]

Thank you, I'm confused about who Florence is though is it a soliciter or another sister at the home? How would I find this out

Death 1965

MARTIN    ANN    54    Lambeth    5c   1318

St Thomas's Hospital is south of the river.

Nun's deaths can also be recorded under their religious names but not in this case, there isn't another entry in the index on freebmd

Ann Martin is listed on the 1964 electoral register for St Peters Home, Meadow Road, Lambeth Constituency Vauxhall Constituency.

Florence McDonough isn't.

Maybe Ann was a resident not a sister.

I can't see a Florence McDONOUGH that is an obvious choice.

You could download the will I found but it will cost £10.

I'm wondering if Florence is Annes possible child? I've spoke to my grandma my aunty anne had polio as a child and as a result she had a limp even from being young, I wonder if this is why she was in a care home?

[dawnsh]

do you have her actual date of birth?

[dawnsh]

getting a copy of the will as suggested by Daisypetal could be more useful than a death cert.

At least you'll get an address for Florence but maybe not a relationship, other than being the executor.

[dawnsh]

I can't say for definite, but if nun's have vows of poverty and renounce their worldly goods when they enter the convent, do they write wills?

If not, then Ann may not have been a religious sister.

If she was a nun, could she have been taken back to the Mother House in Ireland for burial?
