One Name Studies: A to G / Gilmaney
« on: Thursday 30 August 12 22:57 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I am new to this site and am just beginning the process of compiling my family tree.  I have quickly noticed that my paternal grandmother's surname of Gilmaney seems to be very unusual and I would be very interested to hear from anyone with any connection to this name or who can explain its origins etc.  it appears to be centred around a small area of Durham

Many thanks for reading this

Hi

My mother was a patient at Woolley TB hospital from 1961 to 1963 and I was born there shortly after she was admitted. She used to tell me that all through the winter they were pushed outside in their beds,  as fresh air was the main treatment at that time. However she also had scars on her neck as they had removed various glands and then finally one of her lungs was removed. Not sure if the surgery was carried out there or at Hexham hospital
