ShaunJ -- thanks for replying. I may have to consider subscribing.QuoteI don't have phone numbers, would you be able to post a link at all?? Do you need access to newspaper publications?
I was looking in the newpapers on FindMyPast (same database as British Newspaper Archive). No success with Levack but WEL 9790 brought up a couple of hits. I'm guessing that Maddy's finds are in Newspapers.com (?)
There is an advertisement in 1939 for Sister Levack:
"Colonic Lavage - Sister Levack, 77 Marylebone High Street, WEL 9790"

Indeed. Didn't think I'd find out anything.. but found out loads! This is a great forum. I come on here when I'm absolutely stuck, otherwise I like to plough through things myself, but I was stuck. I only have access to Scotlands People and Ancestry but sort of muddle through... until as I say I get stuck, so many thanks. I'm off for the weekend now .. heading to the Orkney Islands for the weekend as it's their County Show. Have a good weekend.
Gollach.
Hi Maddy, Oh my that is a find! Didn't spot that one... and there's another piece of the puzzle. Well done you. That did make me laugh. How ahead of the times was that! Entrepreneur or what.. not sure it would have continued given the date / war looming but good on her.
Kind regards

I'm afraid I chuckled too when I first read the ad. Very now!
I was obviously looking in the wrong places!Hi Shaun, I don't have phone numbers, would you be able to post a link at all?? Do you need access to newspaper publications? Sorry Shaun I've just realised it's the short numbers in the advert
Now we have the phone number I have found a couple of similar ads in the Marylebone Mercury and the Kensington Post in October 1938.
silly me.Jane was also enrolled as a midwife. Could she perhaps have been offering private anteatal care to expectant women too?Hi scotmum, yes I noticed that too. Jane did her initial training I think in Scotland as a midwife, then moved to England.. she remained on the Nursing Register for many years. Many thanks, everyone has been so helpful here. What a find with everyone's help. It's very kind of everyone to reply.

I see the entries in the Nursing Register giving her address as the Levack Clinic, 77 Marylebone High Street. But I can't see any other references to the Levack Clinic. Nothing in contemporary phone books, no newspaper ads or mentions, nothing in Google Books.
