Hi i have a death cert for my 2x gt grandfathers,  wife, who died in The Home, Whalley Road, Moss Side, Manchester she died of Cebral Heamorrage aged 42, in 1931

does anyone know what this place was and is it still there,and where to find records on the place.  im trying to find out why she would be there when she lived in Leeds and is buried in Leeds, her burial records say the same place too.

Kind regards

Hi Weenie,

If you look on the Manchester Local Image Collection, there is a photo of 'The Home' on Whalley Road. It was attached to St Joseph's Hospital

If you google St Joseph's Hospital, Whalley Range, you get a lot of interesting hits. As it was originally run by the sisters of St Joseph, I don't know where archives might be - Salford Catholic Diocese?

Hi Weenie,

Did you have any luck in your search for the Home?

I've come across a death record for my family that occurred at their own home, yet Anne Slattery of The Home was present at the death and was the informant.
