    • After returning to Nelson, NZ after the end of World War 1, Claire and her twin sister Dorothy (they had nursed together in England) travelled to San Francisco, USA, where they both continued their nursing careers. Claire met and married Frederick (Fred) Strathdee, who was Scotland born. Frederick had been recruited by a Canadian Bank. He remained in banking all his life.

      Claire and Fred had three children: Ada, George Urquhart and John Strathdee,

      Sister Dorothy never married but remained close to Claire and her family. When Fred retired he and Claire moved to Victoria, on Vancouver Island, Canada. Dorothy returned to Nelson, NZ, where she died in 1966. Claire died in 1977 on Vancouver Island, Canada. Public - Jenifer - Other relative - 17 March 2016 - Family papers
