Hi

I am trying to find out more about mental health nurses training in the early 1900s in New Zealand. I have done a fair bit of searching on the internet with not much to show for it.
My grandfather emigrated to New Zealand and worked and trained as a nurse in a mental hospital. I have his certificate and he is No. 195 on the Register of Mental Nurses on the 31st March 1914. My grandmother also worked as a nurse but didn't complete her training. If anyone has any advice it would be great to hear from you. I specifically wanted to know the length of training and if there are registers available. I have got a lot of information from the NZ Gazette . Luckily my grandfather kept his registration certificate.
Regards

New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Death in 1950 of Flora Helen Shrubsall

Hi

I have used the 'Ask a Librarian' service for both death notices and obituaries. The service is fantastic. I used the link on the Christchurch Library but here is the link (I hope) for the National library. I gave them the basic details and requested any notices. It was a pretty quick service

I don't know if libraries are open in NZ yet.
Perhaps a NZ rootschatter can help as there may be other ways to access this information.

Isle of Man / Joseph Sowden Broadbent - School book
« on: Sunday 03 May 20 18:21 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I have been having a tidy up and came across my great grandfather's school book which he took out to New Zealand when he emigrated. I am interested in the name of the school.  My knowledge of the Isle of Man is not great so hope someone can point me in the right direction. I am reading it as
....onchan School. It has November 3/54. Not sure what these numbers mean. He was born in about 1837. Looking forward to hearing from anyone. i am just starting to look at his family and seems to be loads of them. Hope attachment works okay.
Regards

Australia / Re: What became of Jeanie Dixon?

Isabella was down on the other passenger list as Isa so that may help. She was 7 on the passenger list in 1923 . Just noticed someone already has put that. Sorry
The Glasgow electoral rolls are on Ancestry so you may be able to find them there.

I did notice in the divorce papers Olive Dixon is the only child of Albert and Jeannie. Isabella had a different father. I did notice she had Currie added as her middle name on the passenger list. You will get lots from his service records.
Enjoy!

Hi again . If you go to your local library it will no doubt have Ancestry library addition and you can look up Albert and his divorce record is available to read. His second one is there too. He appears to have married again in about 1941.

Hi
If you go to the Australian National Archives there are some records which may be useful. www.naa.gov.au
Alberts WW1 service record is there and already digitised and free to view 36 pages. Has transcript of their marriage plus other info. Letter from Jeannie with his departure date from England. Definitely worth looking at. There also appears to be a couple of other files regarding passage for wife and family.  Also a repatriation file but it isn't digitised.
Just go to name search and type his full name.
Regards KK
