Searching Locations/Hospitals I was surprised to find 47 women, no men, who crossed the Atlantic but gave an Ottawa address, frequently more an one. The basic information for them is tabulated below ordered alphabetically by surname. Are any of them in your family tree?

YES, MARION MAY. She was daughter of William Cheney May and Susan Margaret STOREY May(1859-1953) I recall that she was later a head nurse at the Civic. Marion was 2nd cousin to my grandmother, Alice Storey. Marion's brother Frances Loren May is listed on the family tombstone in Beechwood as having died in 1916 WWI. He is on the wall at Ypres. Another brother enlisted I think.
William Cheney May and his brother ran a family harness/leather business started by their father. William's large family home at 155 Gilmour has recently been renovated.
