Notes
General:
170620:

Robert Carter mentions the passage of Dr. Bradshaw back and forth between St. John's and Placentia on several occasions in his diaries. The reason or reasons for his stopping in Ferryland en route not stated. I suspect that the vessel on which he travelled was a coastal boat that made stops at many intermediary ports to put down or take on passengers or cargo.

210517 from Barb Prescott, volunteer at St. Luke's in Victoria:

"An excerpt from Oral History interview by Madeline Howden (nee Bradshaw, one of Sarah's daughters) in with the Bradshaw information is very interesting, too: "We were the first generation of girls who'd ever had to earn a living. But that's why Mother came to Victoria. She knew we'd have to earn our own livings. So my sister Ethel was a stenographer, Nancy was a stenographer, too, but changed to be a nurse and she went off to the First World War. And she was down in Gallipoli during the war."

Nance graduated from The Royal Jubilee Hospital School of Nursing in 1915 and went overseas with the #5 Canadian General Hospital that same year. On September 14th, 1915, Nance enlisted with the Canadian Expeditionary Force in London, England. She was stationed in Shorncliffe, England, Heliopolis, Egypt and Salonika, Greece.

Excerpt from Oral History interview by Madeline Howden (nee Bradshaw): "We were the first generation of girls who'd ever had to earn a living. But that's why Mother came to Victoria. She knew we'd have to earn our own livings. So my sister Ethel was a stenographer, Nancy was a stenographer, but changed to be a nurse and she went off to the First World War. And she was down in Gallipoli during the war." Source: Saanich Archives Oral History Collection.

WWI Nursing Sisters: Trixie [Beatrice] and Nance [Hannah] Bradshaw
Nancy was a Royal Jubilee School of Nursing grad in 1915 from a class of 11. Her
married name was Wall. Trixie graduated from a class of 13 in 1917 and they both
served overseas.
Nance served in Gallipoli and secretly married Jim Walls from Vancouver and she lived
there after the war. She had three children, the last and youngest Elizabeth died
recently at age 90. Trixie didn't marry or have children. She lost her fiancée in the war
and she was ill with the influenza. She worked after the war at Resthaven Veterans'
hospital, and got there by train to Sidney.
Later she was the school nurse at Oak Bay for many years. She died of cancer around
1947 and is buried with family in St. Luke's churchyard.
The girls were born in Newfoundland. Beatrice was named after Queen Victoria's
youngest daughter. The Bradshaw Victoria family home is still standing, on Palo Alto
Street [in Saanich].
A framed oval sepia portrait of Trixie Bradshaw is held by the Royal Jubilee School of
Nursing Archives. A portrait of Trixie in uniform is held by the Craigdarroch Castle
Archives.

120817 from an interview with her sister Madeline:

Trix and Nancy got to Royal Jubilee as nurses and they both went to the 1st World War. Nancy went down to Gallipoli, which was terrible, because everybody from Newfoundland was killed off. The Australians, the Canadians and the Newfoundlanders were the ones who were sent down there and that was the end of all the young men of those countries. The best of the countries were killed. Horrible wasn't it.

Thanks - give me time to go through this stuff

I will mention now though, re HENRIETTA BRADSHAW - i also am questioning if or if not she is ours. she is one that I have an original obituary for - first hand (newspaper cutout) - not a reprint. and it says she died January 8, 1994. Calls her HENRIETTA ASHE BRADSHAW. It reads thusly: BRADSHAW, Henrietta Ashe, passed away on January 8, 1994, leaving sister Madeline Bradshaw Howden and many nieces and nephews. Born in Placentia, Newfoundland in 1896, she moved in 1907 with her family to Victoria. Good night, sleep well. The evening star hangs golden in the west. The gifts of day were good but it is best to open wide our hands and let them fall Empty of all and rest Good night, sleep well Oh best beloved sleep for sleep is best By request no flowers, no condolences. body donated to UBC Learning Hospital.

Helen
