The Common Room / Re: Nurses badge - Leeds - early 20th century

Thanks for the suggestions, Girl Guide.  I might try approaching the hospital.

In the meantime, I think the letters L T I N L are provisionally identified as Leeds Township Infirmary Nurses League, thanks to correspondence elsewhere with Peter Maleczek of Peter's Nursing Collectibles.

I have no documentation linking Lilian Allison to LTI, but not all of her career postings appear in surviving records.

I stand corrected!  The enumerator's page comes after the schedule.  Why did I think it was the other way around...?

Well, I've been back to check and it definitely says No 6 on the enumerator's page.  No address on the schedule as it's the "Large Schedule" format for up to 40 people.

The Common Room / Nurses badge - Leeds - early 20th century
« on: Monday 05 April 21 10:12 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone identify an oval, bronze nursing badge with the Leeds city coat of arms and the initials "L. T. I. N. L." on the suspender bar.  The coat of arms (Featuring owls and the suspended sheep) is surrounded by the motto "QUI NON DEFICIT PROFICIT" (Who does not go forward goes backwards), which is not the motto of the Leeds city corporation.  This badge accompanies WW1 medals awarded to Staff Nurse Lilian Allison (Territorial Force Nursing Service).  She qualified at Leeds Union Infy 1905-08.  I note there was also a Leeds Township Infy, which matches the first three of the initials on the suspension bar.
Thanks, in advance, for any info provided in reply - Peter

I'm just looking at 6 Wellington Terrace, South Shields in the 1911 census and it appears to be a nurses' home.  Four trained hospital nurses (including Lilian Allison, whom I'm interested in) and nursing superintendent as head of household, together with cook, housemaid and three "patients" (two are male!).

Cheshire / Re: T McDonald on Macclesfield War Memorial

Thanks for reply, wilcoxon.  RootsChat was recommended to me by one of the volunteer staff at FHSC Mobberley Research Centre.  This is literally a name on a war memorial, with nothing else!  CWGC lists 75 x “Thomas” or “T” McDonald (of various ages), but no info suggesting any of these have a Macc or Stone connection.

Cheshire / T McDonald on Macclesfield War Memorial
« on: Tuesday 01 August 17 20:30 BST (UK)  »
Seeking any info which might identify T McDonald, named on Macclesfield's war memorial (WW1 names).  There was a Thomas McDonald (b 1876 in Macc) in the 1901 census living at 148 Hurdsfield Rd, Macc with wife Mary; by 1911 the family have moved to Stone, Staffs.  There is no T McDonald named on the war memorial at Stone.

Thanks
