Emily Frances Victoria MORRY R. N. ^1,54,185,666

   Cause of her death was Colon Cancer.

   Other names for Emily were Emily Francis Victoria MORRY,¹⁹⁰ Fanny MORRY ⁶ and Frances MORRY ⁶⁷⁰.^,671

  Noted events in her life were:

1. Alt. Christening: Privately; received into the church later, date not stated, by John M. Noel, 23 Jan 1865, Ferryland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ⁴³⁹

2. Minister/Priest: John M. Noel, 25 Jan 1865, Ferryland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ^54,185,190

3. Immigration, 11 Nov 1889, New York, New York, New York, United States Of America. ¹⁰¹

4. Arrival, 15 Jul 1905, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Landing record found on Ancestry.ca shows Fanny Morry, Teacher, aged 45 travelling with H. Bernice Morry, Bookeeper, aged 25 travelling from Seattle to Victoria on a return ticket. This is almost certainly Frances, despite the discrepancy in age and the fact that it states they were US citizens, but it isn't clear who is the young woman with whom she was travelling.

5. Graduation: Nurse; Second Graduating Class In Newfoundland, Between 1907 and 1910, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ^85,672

6. Arrival, 28 Sep 1907, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Note that though only the initial is given and she is wrongly identified as a man the fact that it shows she was a nurse and from Newfoundland makes it certain this was Fanny.

7. Departure, Jan 1912, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ⁶⁶⁶

8. Arrival, 31 Jan 1912, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland. ⁶⁶⁶

9. Immigration: From Liverpool to Boston on Cunard LACONIA with intent to settle in US, 16 Apr 1912, Bristol, Gloucestershire, England. ¹⁷⁰ Profession listed as nurse; age grossly under-represented as 36 when in fact she was then 47

10. Military: Awarded British Medal for Distinguished Conduct and Military Service, Between Nov 1915 and May 1919, England. ⁶⁷³

11. Military: Served as Head of Nursing Unit In WWI, Between 4 Nov 1915 and May 1919, England. ^85,673 Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service Reserve
She served first at the Red Cross Hospital in Eccleshall, Staffordshire and later many other hospitals. See her record of service in the Media folder

12. Arrival, 6 Nov 1915, North Sydney, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. ⁴¹ Incorrectly listed as "male". There were several other Newfoundland ladies making the same journey, three of them in their seventies (including Mrs. J. LeMessurier)and the other a bit younger than Frances. I wonder if the two younger ladies were acting as chaperones and ladies assistants to the others on such a long and arduous journey.

13. Residence: 87 Henry St., From her service record card in WWI, 4 Dec 1915, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ⁶⁷²

14. Departure: Furness DIGBY en route to St. John's after service as a nurse in WWI, 2 May 1919, Bristol, Gloucestershire, England. ¹⁷⁰ She gives her age as 45. At the time she was 54.

15. Arrival: Arrived home on the DIGBY, 12 May 1919, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ⁶⁷⁴

17. Census: 1921 Newfoundland Census of William Gray Household, 134 Gower St, 1921, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ¹⁴ Sister in law Emily Frances Victoria Morry living with William and his wife Jane.

18. Arrival, 14 Jun 1930, Montreal, Québec, Canada. T G Morry and his sister Frances arrived in Montréal from St. John's on board the Rosalind en route to BC. Among the facts revealed was the fact that she had previously been in Canada from June 1896 to June 1901 (when she was in the Victoria). They both indicated that they would be hosted by Albert Graham Morry at 1339 Stanley Ave., Victoria, BC and used thier sister Mrs. W. N. Gray as their next of kin.

19. Interesting: was witness at her brother Thomas's second marriage to Clara Windsor, 30 Jun 1930, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. ¹⁸⁴

20. Census: 1935 Newfoundland Census of Household of William Gray, 1935, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ⁶⁷⁵

26. Probate: UK Probate Calendar entry, 21 Nov 1944, Llanddwywe, Merioneth, Wales. ⁶⁷⁷ I have no idea why her Will was probated in Wales. There is no conceivable explanation that I can think of.
