1861 - which hospital

[rosie99]

Interesting link, Shaun, about the history.

Just pasting an excerpt:
Harrison's Hospital, founded (in Chapel Lane) in 1550, for 10 old women. This was the first charitable foundation in Hull after the Reformation, and was instituted by John Harrison, alderman. To this hospital a Mrs. Fox subsequently added four rooms, for as many inmates.

That is interesting Josey, it is always good to know the history of these places.

It is good to have the lighter evenings, I try to resist turning on the lights as I then have to draw the curtains.

Thank you so much, folks.  All the information I needed.  The background is that her husband, William Finningley, was awarded a room in the Charterhouse on 7 March 1850; she would have gone there with him, but he died on the very same day.  I was interested in finding out what had happened to her.  In 1851 she was living with 2 of her daughters.  So eventually she got a place in another almshouse.  She died in 1874.
Thanks again.
