Hi Mack,
Thanks for posting the information.  I didn't know about the hospital details.  Do you have any info on Tommy's father Henry, who went to Barrow from Wednesbury.  I know about his mother Margaret (Leece) who came from Millom Cumberland.
Family were: Thomas+Annie+Lilian+Norah+ George Henry+Gladys Francis+Henry+Doris+Ellen+Edna May.
Picture of Thomas attached.
Steve.
