Nurse Kate Carr in Montreal
« on: Monday 11 November 13 14:25 GMT (UK) »
Hi Karen - I wonder if you could check census? for a nurse Kate Carr who was born in 1883 in England.  Her brothers and sisters seemed to have visited her, there are border crossings and Kate's name and Montreal as the address. 
She sailed to Quebec June 1913, it looks like it says Montreal Royal?  was that a hospital?
She also crossed into the US in 1914 to visit relations (Rouses Point)
I don't think she married? or she married late.
family visited her in 1924 and later I believe, I'll check that out again.
Anything would be a plus.  cheers Fred
Address 1924 - 376 Mountain Street, Montreal.

Can't even find the immigration record, what's she listed as?

There's a Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal, about 5 blocks from Mountain. It's now part of McGill University and likely was then as well.

Always Kate Carr in the detail I have, so she was still Kate Carr when her younger brother visited her in 1924 in Montreal, so not married and aged 41 then.  Maybe she crossed into the US to work?  Maybe she married.  Maybe something will show up in time.  Thanks for your time. Fred

Ah. Thanks sami, I searched and searched. Ancestry doesn't have it.

Still not seeing the "Royal", though, so there has to be another record somewhere.

Not a trace in 1921, or Drouin, or US censuses :(

I've seen the passenger list on FindMyPast and it just gives the destination as Montreal. The only 'Royal' I see is in the ship's name.

Have also looked in 1921 - tried all sorts of variations but didn't get anywhere.

This is an odd entry and the age is off but it did make me wonder if it was Kate:

I couldn't find any Carr, Cather or even Carter on St-Famille in the Lovell's directory. Even if she was just rooming she should be there.

And Lovell's has just quit on me. Nothing but blank pages >:(

Before Lovell's quit - were any of the other nurses listed on the 1921 census also listed at 33 St-Famille?
