NotesA birth registration was found for Nora Over: Date: Jul-Aug-Sep 1908; District: Birkenhead; County: Cheshire; Volume: 8a; Page: 525.

In 1923, Nora Over, 15, arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of 68 boys and 25 girls from the Catholic Emigration Association and en route Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Nora became a St Joseph's nun in Pembroke Ontario, Canada.

She said: "I've had my little sorrows.".

Her home child brother in Canada had paid her way to this country. He thought she was coming to him and she thought she was coming to him. However, the agency sent her elsewhere and would not tell either of them where the other was. It took him two years to locate her at a handsome home on Kent Street in Ottawa, and when he did finally arrive, the owners would not let him enter because "He was a Home Boy!"
