Title: COMPLETED - 1944 Death Cert - Dublin - Decipher Help !
Post by: Pdorgan on Monday 16 October 17 03:32 BST (UK)
I need some help with a couple of entries here please guys..

Box 1 - is that St Paricks Hospital?
Box 2 - after Last of 13, last row? I've never seen comments like this with the name but this page in the registry is full of them.
Box 7 - COD , Gastro ???, Certified. 

Here is the link to the page if it helps

Thanks in advance

Doesn't look like St Patricks to me - don't know what it is though

Twentieth       Mary              F(emale)    Spinster    3               Labourers
 February      Dorgan                                        months        Daughter
St ??             Late of  13
Hospital         ?Grants How?  (address where she was living - same for all the entries.)


Box 7 (CoD)  Gastro
                    Enteritis
                    Certified       

I hope that is nearly right.

If posting something like this again, it is a great help if you can post the headings of the various columns - helps in the interpretations     ;)  ;) 

(I see the headings on the attached link.   Easier if you can include them on the snip!  :))

    ;D  Bit tough calling the poor mite a spinster at the age of 3 months isn't it!  ::)

I see the same hospital is mentioned several times on the linked records . . .  doesn't look like Partick in any of them to me . . . :-\   Can't think which saint it would be though.  :-\

Cheers,    Wiggy

Mercer's Hospital perhaps but that wouldn't have St. before the name.

Doesn't have an 'i' in it either.   I am trying to think of a saint with 'in' as part of it - at least I think 'in'.

Is there a St Linus or something like that?   Actually it seems there is! (Thanks Google) I wonder if that is it?    :-\   

Don't know if there is a St Linus Hospital though.  ;D

How about St Ninion?

My husband just looked at it and said it looks like it says Minster?

That was my first guess too - Minster . . .but shortened.    :-\ :-\ :-\

St Ninian is a possibility.    :).  Better than Linus!!

Don't. Know really.   Maybe the OP can narrow it down a bit!     ;D

Not just that page I've looked at quite a few pages and still can't read it.

Not sure if this lists all the 1940s Dublin hospitals but it's a list at least

Thanks for the list Sinann, now I wonder if it says St Vincent?

Once again . . . That is the only one which I would have picked from that list.

 (Thanks for the list sinann.)

For those from down under, (me) is that good or bad, sinann!    ;)

I think St.Kevin's might be correct, this is the same informant T or F Purcell.
The hospital is written twice on each cert, under the date and under the infromant

I think the hospital is St Kevin's.

Scroll forward a few pages and the writing is a little clearer:

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1944/04651/4236864.pdf (https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1944/04651/4236864.pdf)

Look at entry 119 in particular.

It became St James' Hospital: http://www.stjames.ie/AboutUs/History/ (http://www.stjames.ie/AboutUs/History/)
