People who worked in fever hospitals were normally survivors of the disease themselves, as they had immunity. So she may be on record as a patient previously. |

Thanks everyone! I had a look on the Nursing Records bit on the National Archives site and after typing in the names of all the hospitals that she had worked in over the period, found an entry from a nurse that she worked with and who some of the postcards were from! |

Well if all else fails, the new census is hopefully due for release next year! |

Who sent the postcards you have? could they be relatives? What I mean is do they hold any clues? Sorry - just doing an edit! I see you answered that already! |

I suggest you look at the Research Guide to Nursing records on the National Archives website. It seems that there was no central registration of nurses before 1919, and many were untrained. |

I know for certain that Violet had a sister called Alice who married a Robert David Bellis in Birkenhead in 1907. They had three daughters, Olive, Marjorie and Frances. I'm certain that their families are out there somewhere. I know this from the postcards, and family photos. |

Thank you for doing this, I did find this entry in the census and wondered if it could be her! I will post all the info that I have later (toddlers and typing don't seem to mix in my house - they just want to go to the cbeebies website!). I am most grateful for any help. |

Could this be her family? |

Violet Emma Foggerty - I know there are likely to be Irish roots there, hope so anyway, but I'm pretty sure that she was born in England, possibly Derbyshire, but with links to Birkenhead. |

The Royal College of Nurses may be able to help. |

I have an album full of postcards sent to my great grandmother at various fever hospitals from 1904 to 1912, but know nothing about her prior to this date. From her death certificate I estimate her birth to be about 1880. She doesn't show up in any census return. Does anyone know where I can find anything on fever nurse training at this time? - I've googled it but come up with very little. I am getting quite desperate to find a way to trace her. |
