Joyce Onyekwere Ngbaronye

I can see why Joyce remembers Rita Saldano. She was living in the same house in the mid-1950s. The Edgbaston property housed 9 people and perhaps all worked as nurses. The location places it between the QE and hospitals in the city centre so it is not clear if Joyce was working elsewhere after qualifying. Anyway, the other people in the house - and I list them in case they are of help to jog Joyce's memory [how old is she by the way?] were : Rita Saldano, Elizabeth Long, Dorothy Dawson, Vera Cross, Elena Caligari, Kathleen Brindley, Muriel Bemrose and Frances Harrold.

Joyce is 90
 
I can tell you that there is no further mention of Elena Caligari in any British records after that census entry. Presumably she returned to her home country.

Muriel Bemrose never married and died in 1980

She does remember the accommodation for nurses mentioned in the thread.
Remembers names in snatches and they're gone before you can write them.
 
Tony,

That address appears to be accommodation for non-local girls training to be nurses. Muriel Bemrose, for instance, came from Bridlington in Yorkshire, Frances Harrold seems to have come from the Stroud area of Gloucestershire, and Kathleen E. Brindley seems to have come from Nottinghamshire. Unfortunately if they married, they seem to have married people with fairly common surnames, making it difficult to be sure whether which address is correct, if, in fact, they are still alive. Not an easy task!
