Comments: Anne Phair (Nee: ) | Portland ME United States | 1921-1940 | Comments: This photo is from the Ethel Wight Studio, Portland, Maine.
This negative envelope says, “Miss Phair, St Barnabus Hospital #946.”
This photo appears to be of a young women in her late teens or early 20s. She is in a student nurse’s uniform.
Why I believe this to be the individual.
• The 1936 Portland City Directory lists Anne Phair as a student nurse at 231 Woodford (St Barnabus Hospital), residing at 20 Norwood. She is the only Phair in the directory.
Alternate Individuals.
• The 1940 US Census lists three Anne Phairs.
1. 65-year-old Anne Phar, the wife of Michael Phair.
2. A 47-year-old Annie Phair who lives with her nephew, Walter Trehan in Boston. She is a naturalized immigrant from Ireland and lived in Boston in 1935.
3. Anne E Phair, the 19-year-old daughter of Henry S & Elizabeth A Phair, living in North Andover, Essex County, Massachusetts. She lived in the same place in 1935 and was new to working in 1940.
• The 1930 US Census lists only one Anne Phair, the 32-year-old wife of Philip A Phair.
None of these appear to be the correct Anne Phair. Additionally, my review of marriages from 1935-1945 and my review of immigration from 1930 to 1935 failed to yield any additional candidates to by the Anne Phair in this photo.
