Winifred Ave in Halswell and too new for the library website. Information from the council website – Winifred Rogers was a strong pioneering woman from Hartlepool, who became a theatre sister (operating-room nurse) in one of London’s largest hospitals in the late 1880’s before making the long journey out to New Zealand, where she settled in the Halswell area and worked in the medical profession for many years.
I searched Papers Past, Findagrave and Ancestry but couldn’t find out any information about this woman. She was possibly the Winifred Rogers mentioned in Papers Past as a Nursing Cadet in St Johns but I would have expected her to have been beyond being a cadet in the 1930s assuming that the council have the correct information about her. I couldn’t find anyone with that name living in the Halswell area when I checked the electoral rolls.
This street is only a few metres long and the locals use it as a car park. No houses here yet and I couldn’t manage a photo here because of how many cars were parked here.
