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

Thank you! I don't understand why I can find it. Maybe I need to look at 1953 Would you explain it please?
I don't understand the "further grant 1953" part. Does that mean his Isabella died in 1953?
I see the solicitors name is the same as on Isabella's probate record. I wonder why he didn't leave his estate to his wife who outlived him by 7 years? Appears that Isabella may have had financial troubles.

Interesting reading eh? As MaureeninNY says, no definite signs that this Isabella was a nurse

.

So does this mean that Isabella failed to pay outstanding bills after Joseph's death? Was he declared  bankrupt?

Brilliant! Have no idea how you all get this info, but it's amazing. So she may have known this J H Brownlee MD. I'll check her female siblings and their children and check out JH Brownlee for any Devon Connections.There must have been a specific reason why she went to Nottingham. Looks like she had reason enough to leave Devon.

Wish I could get more information about Morris and whoever adopted him, but still so grateful for everything. Thanks again
Are they releasing the 1921 census? Had heard a while ago that they weren't going to.

I went to the website https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills.
Then I clicked on the tab "Wills and Probate 1858-1996" - NOT the 1996-Present tab ;D
I entered "Bradbury" as the surname, and 1921 as Year of Death.

Failing to find the correct Joseph, I click on "Next Year", trying every year until I found him in 1924.
I transcribed what I found ;D

I then searched in 1953; and transcribed that also.

Please note that the Probate Calendar list the person, or persons, to whom probate was granted. They might not have received any money, but they may have. Details will be in the will, which you have to buy.

I am unsure as to the meaning of the further grant? but as the original probate was for a substantial amount, maybe it was contested?

Thanks KGarrad, I must be going crackers. I scrolled back and forth from 1921 through 1924 and couldn't see it.  :P
