Confusing. But is there any sign that the Isabella of Warren House was ever a nurse?

All we know is that Morris's birth certificate gives the occupation of his mother Isabella Bradbury as  'General Nurse'

If that Nottingham death certificate is her then 'J H Brownlee MD' of the hospital she died at had the Ashes to scatter.   

It looks as though J H Brownlee was a surgeon at the hospital - James Henry Brownlee as per an article in Nottingham Journal 20 May 1943
