[1] According to Tickell in The History of the Town and County of Kingston Upon Hull (1796), there was a religious house at the Charterhouse site from the time of Edward I.

William had acquired a license from Edward III to establish a monastery there, and intended to found one for the Poor Clares, but died before it could be completed.

[7] The hospital had been rendered to the crown in 1506 on account of the actions of Edmund de la Pole, 3rd Duke of Suffolk, but was restored in 1553 to the mayor and burgesses of Hull.

[9] In the English Civil War the hospital building was demolished, before the First Siege of Hull (1642), to prevent it being used by besieging forces.

[20] Whiteford worked with British Nurses in Crete, during the Greco-Turkish War, April – May 1897, for which she was awarded the Commemorative Medal and Diploma of the Red Cross from Olga, Queen of the Hellenes.

[22] From 1900–1909 she worked in Princess Christian's Army Nursing Service and served in the Second Anglo Boer War.

[23] [24] During the First World War Whiteford was given leave of absence and served in Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service (Reserve) between 1914–1919.
