Sue Light Posted 23 April , 2008 Share Posted 23 April , 2008 I've had some correspondence in the past with a member of the Keer family - Honoria's sister, Caroline Keer, was Matron-in-Chief of QAIMNS from 1906-10. The latter died near to me in Worthing, and is buried there in Broadwater cemetery. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue I see on the same roll of honour (Glasgow University) that there is another woman on the roll from the Scottish Women's Hospital, and another who was involved with the Serbian Fever Hospital. It's an interesting site altogether. I wonder if any other universities have done the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the 1901 census might indicate that they were resident at the same address, or give some other clue? Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Light Posted 23 April , 2008 Share Posted 23 April , 2008 It's an excellent site - the biographies are really interesting and well written - I wonder who the main mover is in getting them all up there. I've come across a lot of University Rolls of Honour, but not that sort of information before. And what a lot of women appear there - one biog. describes them as a 'feisty' group of women, and they certainly were. I had to wonder as well, if Agnes Forbes Blackadder is related in any way to a prominent Forum member! Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
