From http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/c/a/r/Richard-B-Carruthers/index.html, which has much more :
"Beatrice Florence Elizabeth Large (1885-1963), from 1910 Mrs Herbert Chatterton Roberts, the compiler's maternal grandmother, taken at the time of her graduation as a Nurse trained at Victoria hospital, London, Ontario, in 1909, where her fellow nursing students called her 'Tiny' Large because of her unusually tall stature for her generation. Captain Henry Geoffrey John Whiddon, a Large family friend and father-in-law of her eldest brother, William Christopher 'Will' Large (1865-1949), said that 'Bea' was "too good for nursing", a tough job which had only gained respectability at the time of the Crimean War under the extraordinary exertions of Florence Nightingale and her ilk. 'Granny', whose own mother, Blanche Louisa Bray, Mrs James Large, is said to have been trained in the chemist's shop of her father, William Bray, J.P., R.N.(1814-1882), chemist and druggist of Petrolea (now Petrolia), Ontario, as "the first lady pharmacist in Canada" along with her two brothers John Lang Bray and William Thomas Bray, came from a medical family. Granny's maternal uncle, John Lang Bray (1841-1915), went on to graduate from Queen's University in Kingston, Canada West (now Ontario) in 1863, serving in the Confederate Army Surgeons Corps at Richmond, Virginia, C.S.A., for two years, before returning to the Canadas to become a prominent medical practitioner and sometime President of the Canadian Medical Association. B.F.E. Large was later commended by the King (H.M. King George V) during the 1935 Jubilee celebrations for her work as the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire's (I.O.D.E.) child welfare officer in the province of Alberta during 'The Great Depression'. She also nursed throughout the Swine 'Flu epidemic of the immediate post-WWI period, remaining on her feet throughout in a small prairie town (Tompkins, Saskatchewan), when the rest of the medical community fell ill. Widowed, she moved to Vancouver, B.C., with her two surviving daughters, Margaret (18, later to become a nurse and marry a doctor) and Marion (12). There, she bought and had converted a bankrupt lumber baron's mansion at the corner of 41st avenue and Macdonald street, which she operated as the "Kerrisdale Private Hospital" right through the dark days of W.W.II, before retiring in the late 1940s, after some 40 years in her profession."
"Beatrice Florence Elizabeth Large (1885-1963), as the newly-wed Mrs Herbert Chatterton Roberts, in her 'going away' outfit in readiness to depart on her honeymoon following her marriage to 'Bertie' at Port Rowan, Norfolk county, Ontario, on 6 September 1910, with the bride's maternal uncle, the Reverend Horace Edgar Bray (1859-1944), incumbent of St John's Church of England in Canada (Anglican) parish church, Port Rowan, as the officiant."

She had to be the BEST Grannie in the whole world. She always had time for the grandchildren no matter what. She stood about 5' or so and my Grandad was about 6 foot 6.
Most of my memories of them was when they lived on the river. Grandad was always bringing these HUGE fish up to the house. Grannie always saved jars for us to put lightning bugs in.
I Miss them so much. You will live in our hearts forever.

... I concentrate my efforts on another English side of my mother's
family (Blanche Louisa's husband James Large was of Wiltshire stock),
centred on Purton in Wiltshire, for which, along with neighbouring Rodbourne
Cheney, I am OPC. I am lucky to have documents that were brought to Canada
when the family left Lydiard Millicent for Adelaide township, Middlesex
county, Canada West, United Province of the Canadas (the two Canadas were
united in 1840 as one of Lord Durham's recommendations for dealing with the
French in Lower Canada and any future chance of rebellion in either of the
Canadas) by my great-great grandparents William Large (1805-1871) and his
wife (and third cousin!) Mary Ann Plummer (1804-1880) dating from the 18th
and 19th centuries, including the will of William's rich uncle another
William Large (1763-1850), of Purton, which helped to centre my research on
the right, principal parish from the outset.

Research Notes: Husband - Christopher Randall
This is probably the Christopher Randall/Randell in the following lists.
From Inhabitants of Baltimore County 1763-1774, p. 8:
"Historical Notes on St. Thomas Parish, Baltimore County: In a deed, bearing date July 4, 1743, Christopher Gist of Baltimore County, Gentleman, conveyed to William Hamilton, Samuel Owings, Christopher Randall and Nicholas Haile, two acres of ground, part of 'Adventuire.' According to this deed the parties of the second part had been empowered by the Act of Assembly dated September 21, 1742 to purchase land 'and thereupon erect a chapell of ease for the forest inhabitants of St. Paul's Parish,' and by the same Act of Assembly, it was provided that on the death of the then incumbent of St. Paul's Parish the hundreds of Soldiers Delight and Back River Neck were to be separated from St. Paul's Parish and erected into a new parish called St. Thomas Parish (Maryland Historical Magazine, 15:352). In the Proceedings of the Baltimore County Court for November, 1755 (Liber BB, No. B, ff. 390-391) will be found an order for dividing Soldiers Delight into three hundreds: 'The lowest (still called Soldiers Delight)...a new Hundred called Delaware hundred...and another new hundred called Pipe Creek Hundred...' (Maryland Historical Magazine, 15:351). The early church register and vestry proceedings of St. Thomas Parish Church (1732-1850) are on file at the Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore, MD. They were published by Bill and Martha Reamy in 1987..."
Ibid., pp. 16-23:
"INDEX TO AQUILA HALL'S ASSESSMENT LEDGER, 1762-1765
"Aquila Hall was High Sheriff of Baltimore County and after Harford County separated from Baltimore County in 1773 he was appointed Colonel of Militia and one of the Lord Justices of the new county of Harford from 1774 to 1779. While serving as Sheriff of Baltimore County he compiled a tax assessment ledger of 145 pages which named 1,380 persons, their land tracts, and their assessments... Its index contains the following names...
"William Cockey,... Joshua Cockey,... Edward Cockey,... John Hammond Dorsey,... Caleb Dorsey, Bazil Dorsey, Edward Dorsey,... Caleb Dorsey,... Richard Dorsey,...John Dorsey,...Samuel Owings,... John Owings, Joshua Owings,... Sarah Owings,... Stephen Owings,... Samuel Owings,... Elijah Owings,... Henry Owings,... Christopher Randell,... John Ridgley,... Charles Ridgley, Jr.,... Capt. John Stinchcombe,... Nathan Stinchcombe,... Edmund Talbott, Thomas Talbott,... Philip Thomas,... Edward Talbott,... Samuel Underwood,... Benjamin Wells,... James Wells,... William Wells, James Wells, Jr.,... Charles Wells,... Elex Wells..."
Ibid., pp. 13-16:
"AN INDEX OF SOME BALTIMORE RESIDENTS IN 1765
The following index was found in the Maryland Historical Society Library's Manuscript Division (MS. 1711) and, even though there is nothing to indicate what the purpose of the index, it was determined that those listed were Baltimore residents circa 1765. This determination was made from the compiler's familiarity with Baltimore families prior to the Revolution and also because this index was found with the remnants of a Baltimore Debt Book for 1765 and 1766. This is not an index to the debt book because the highest page number in the book is 109 while the highest page number in the index is 58. The index is, nonetheless, a 'finding list' for early Baltimore."
[Among those listed are:]
Nicholas Clagett
Nathan Dorsey
Leakin Dorsey
Joshua Lynch
William Lynch
John Merryman
Joseph Merryman
Samuel Merryman
John C. Owings.

"JOPPA COURTHOUSE PETITION OF 1768
"The petitions for and against the removal of the county seat of Baltimore County from Joppa to Baltimore Town in 1768 are discussed at length in the Archives of Maryland, Vol. 61 (Appendix). Notices were posted in January, 1768 at the door of the courthouse in Joppa, at the church door of St. Paul's Parish, at the church door of St. Thomas' Parish, at the church door of St. John's Parish, at the church door of St. George's Parish, at the door of the chapel of St. George's Parish, at the door of the chapel of St. John's Parish, and at the house called St. Thomas' Chapel in St. Thomas' Parish, by Absalom Butler and sworn to before the Honorable Benjamin Rogers. Notices were printed in English and German. Tabulations indicate that 2,271 voted for the removal of the courthouse, and 901 voted against it. (It should be noted that some signatures are missing due to the disintegration of the paper, and there also appears to be some who signed more than once.) Five years later, Harford County separated from Baltimore County and set up its court house at Bush (Harford Town) in 1774 and at Bel Air in 1782.
