Rosalind Frances Nash, née Shore-Smith (December 1862–17 October 1952)[1] was a journalist and co-operator,[1] and the niece and confidante of Florence Nightingale.[2] She assisted in some of Nightingale's publications, and wrote on her behalf to Karl Pearson, when Pearson was writing his biography of Francis Galton.

Rosalind Shore-Smith was the elder daughter of Florence Nightingale's cousin William Shore Smith (afterwards Shore Nightingale), whom Florence Nightingale "regarded almost as a brother". Barbara (nee Margaret Thyra Barbara Shore-Smith), Rosalind's sister, married Sir Harry Lushington Stephen.[3] Rosalind married the progressive economist Vaughan Nash in 1893; they lived at Loughton.[2] After Florence Nightingale's death, Vaughan Nash played an important role in collating and copying her correspondence.[2]

Rosalind is buried with her husband in Wellow graveyard.[2]
