Some of the records contain application forms to join the Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service or Reserve, which indicate previous service.

Finding them in the Census requires either the name of a nurse you know was there, or knowing the Registration District the hospital came under. We have identified many of these.

It is possible to track individual nurses through the Census. Sometimes the enumerators used ANS or ANSR, or Army Nurse which helps us identify the individuals we are seeking. At other times they would be noted as a nurse, in either case we still need to corroborate to ensure we have the correct information. At the times of these Census record...")

Census data can be helpful in removing some of the ambiguities, especially with the publication of the 1911 census for the United Kingdom. Using the census presents challenges for all researchers, and these are described below. ===Census: Change of name on marriage=== Where nurses remained single, especially post 1911, tracing them in the census is considerab...")

From 1841 the census is of use. The census was taken from midnight on Sunday/Monday as follows: * 1841 Census - 6 & 7th June * 1851 Census - 30 & 31st March * 1861 Census - 7 & 8th April * 1871 Census - 2 & 3rd April * 1881 Census - 3 &...")

In reality photographs are often difficult to make out, and nurses rarely wore medals on active service. When looking at a group of medals it is important to verify that the person was entitled to wear them, as some may have been owned as souvenirs (foreign medals). Medals are worn in a particular order which also helps us identify...")

Sometimes it is really obvious, but sometimes it is small identification features that lead us to recognise the nursing service, and the era. We are going to use a few examples below to help set out the identification features to look for (as well as things that do not help so much). I am always happy to help identify nurses in pictures. ==WW2== Nurses serving in WW2 would be Queen...")
