Megs, can you tell us details of name/census this was on so we can have a look. It doesnt sound like the sort of relationship you would have in a household - are you sure it says probationer

As her occupation is Pupil Nurse, probationer I suppose describes her relationship. The head of household is not entered as "Head" but as "Matron". The address is a Lying In Hospital.

Pupil Nurse, Probationer


she was a student nurse, still on probation .... ie, on trial to see whether she was suited to being a nurse.

A Pupil Nurse is one in training ................ training that would last 2 or 3 years.
