Please can someone help me? My Great Grandmother Florence Louise Wright nee Laurence born 1879 in Salehurst died, I believe, of TB some time during the early 1900's, possibly 1912-1920. Her husband Sidney had apparently died in Africa, not sure how or where, and Florence left 2 children orphaned by her death. I would appreciate any assistance in finding records of her demise and possible burial place, either near Salehurst or possibly near Eastbourne, where the two girls were subsequently raised by her brother Herbert and his wife. He was a policeman, and later publican of the Victoria Hotel in Latimer Road, Eastbourne.
I have found details of aDarvell Hall Hospital in Robertsbridge but this did not become a Sanatorium until 1920 - 1948.
Many Thanks if you can help

I suggest you try the National Hospital Archives database - a collaboration between the National Archives and the Wellcome Institute for History of Medicine.
I was (partially) successful in finding the answer to a similar query. If you cannot find what you are looking for in the database, it might be worth writing to the Wellcome Institute directly.
Good luck

Many thanks to all peeps who have replied to my original request. Hellingly Hospital was used until quite recently as a hospital for psychological problems i think, but I shall definitely take all your suggestions on board and hope I get some positive answers.
I have already looked at other Hospitals in the Eastbourne area but how does one obtain records of patients from these , bearing in mind I am looking at possibly 1920 or so. Would they keep them for this length of time?? I'll keep you posted
