Narrative

In the 1900 US Census there is a boarder listed as living with the Ambrose family in 11 Floyd St. Her name i given as Nora Connolly, a nurse born in 1878.

This could be Nora Conway, though the surname and date of birth are wrong, Nora appears to have been living in 11 Floyd St in 1898 and was listed as a nurse in 1930 US Census.
