Nancy took it upon herself to look after children who had been evacuated during the [[London Blitz]], but had returned as strays. She told the [[Ninth Doctor]] this was because her younger brother [[Jamie (The Empty Child)|Jamie]] had died during an air raid. She knew about, but would not explain the strange [[Empty Child|"empty" child]] walking the streets, wearing a gas mask and asking everyone "Are you my mummy?"


She suggested the Doctor talk to a doctor at [[Albion Hospital]], the hospital nearest [[Limehouse Green Station]] where an unexploded bomb had fallen shortly before the child began walking the streets. Nancy later went to the site of the bombing and revealed to the Doctor that the child, Jamie, was not her brother but her son. The [[Chula]] [[nanogene]]s that had brought the dead Jamie back to life matched Nancy and her son's [[DNA]], returning Jamie and the other infected [[human]]s to normal. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Empty Child]]'' / ''[[The Doctor Dances]]'')
Nancy brought up Jamie as her brother. In [[1941]], Jamie was killed in an air raid near [[Limehouse Green Station]], but [[Chula]] [[nanogene]]s partially revived him as the [[Empty Child]], whose virus spread to other [[human]]s that were taken to [[Albion Hospital]].
 
Because of her son's death, Nancy took it upon herself to look after children who had been evacuated during the [[London Blitz]], but had returned as strays, by stealing food from families while they hid in air-raid shelters. Nancy met the [[Ninth Doctor]] during one of these meals and warned him about Jamie. She suggested that he should talk to [[Constantine (The Empty Child)|Dr Constantine]] at Albion Hospital for information. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Empty Child]]'')
 
When Nancy told the Child, who kept asking for his mummy that she was her mummy, the nanogenes reprogrammed themselves, returning Jamie and the other infected humans to normal. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Doctor Dances]]'')
