[1] There is little information to be gleaned about Florence Greenwood’s husband or about their marriage. The whereabouts of her husband Arthur are unclear in part because there were several Arthur Greenwoods living in the Halifax area before the Great War. Florence Greenwood’s address when she joined the Trained Nurses Department was recorded as No 10 Mayfield Terrace, Halifax, which may have been an address she shared with her husband. However when she went to Etal in 1917 her address was No 40 Leazes Terrace, Newcastle upon Tyne. No 40 Leazes Terrace was the address of the Northern Counties Nurses Home. In the Register of Nurses for 1922 (p 122) and for 1925 (p 641) her address was listed as No 10 Mayfield Terrace South, Kings Cross Road, Halifax, but by 1931 she was back at Leazes Terrace in Newcastle (The Register of Nurses for 1931, p 683).
[2] There is a manuscript Record of Enlistments for Bedlington Parish 1914-1918 in St Cuthbert’s Church (NEWMP B15.26) which includes two Jacksons who lived in Burdon Terrace. One is Thomas Jackson, presumably the eldest son of James and Mary Jackson and brother of Annie Jackson. He is recorded as having served with East Yorkshire Regiment but not having served overseas. The second man is ‘J. W. Jackson’, also resident in Burdon Terrace, who served with the 10th (Service) battalion Northumberland Fusiliers (68th Brigade, 23rd Division) and with 13th (Service) battalion Durham Light Infantry (68th Brigade, 23rd Division). He served in France, was wounded, but survived the War. The initials could simply be an error and the entry may refer to John George Jackson. Certainly in 1911 there was only one Jackson household recorded in Burdon Terrace, Bedlington.
[3] Although her first VAD card records that Mrs Annie Barbara Johnson was a nurse at Westbourne Hospital, her second card records that she had been a cook at Westbourne Auxiliary Hospital as well as head cook at the 4th Northern General. Westbourne Auxiliary Hospital opened on 28 April 1915 as a Class B auxiliary hospital for the Third London (T.F.) General Hospital. It was a convalescent Hospital with 60 beds, 1 trained nurse, 13 full-time and 5 part-time VADs. It closed on 31 May 1919. The 4th Northern General Hospital, Lincoln occupied the old buildings and fields of the former Lincoln Grammar School (now Lincoln Christ's Hospital School).
[4] There is second VAD record card for an Agnes Johnstone from Northumberland, who served in France. The address of the latter is 16 Eskdale Terrace, Jesmond. There are some similarities in the dates of service in France and Cambridge but there are discrepancies and there are some additional services for example at Ripon Camp in 1916. Neither Agnes can be confidently identified in other records. I have assumed that the second card is for a different person. At least three separate Agnes Johnstones who were VADs served in France and have entries the medal rolls.
