Thank you Shirley that's very helpful. Solved a mystery.

One mistake was Eleanor's birth. She was born Sept qt 1891 and her mother Margaret died in the Dec qt of that year

So her birth is a year out on the form that was filled in for her joining the Canadian nursing corps

Just looking to see if any of the other children went to Canada

You probably have this but posting as it comes up
