Your website looks very interesting. I will take a better look later.

About Nora - are you not sure of her nationality?

Hi,

If you need a picture of Isabella, you could contact McGill University in Montreal.  If she was a graduate, they ought to have a graduation photo...

Very interesting website!  I am glad you are paying tribute to these amazing women :) :)

As for Florence in South Africa, the article I found from 1940 is about a tea being held in her honour in Toronto.  She had been living in South Africa "for some time", where she had been active in golf clubs and womens work.  She had assisted in the management of a unique school that taught weaving to the "native Zulu girls'.  The school had been started by the late Mrs Marjorie Pope-Ellis. It says that products of this school have "found favour" in New York and London.  Florence drove an ambulance in Serbia in the Great War.  The article says she is going to leave Canada soon to take up residence in London England. 

This is the only information I have found so far about her activities in South Africa.

I don't  think Nora is Scottish  :-\. Can't find a birth on Scotlands People or an entry on 1911 or 1901 Census.  Of course Nora could be short for another name - Eleanor for instance.

Nice find Looby!!  That looks to be a girls' boarding school. 

If that is her, the birth registration is on familysearch and on FindMyPast.  Dad is a merchant
