It's great to see that a topic that I started over a year ago now come back to life.
My father was born at 2, Raddlebarn Road in 1910. In the 1911 census it seems my father William George age six months was staying with Childminders at 37, Norman Street, Winson Green in Birmingham. His mother Norah was working as a Domestic Servant at 37, Havelock Road, Handsworths approx 2.5 miles away. So by then they had moved away from the "hospital".
Can I go back to my original question:
What I think is 2, Raddlebarn Road was an address that registrars are known to have used for Kings Norton Workhouse. I think it was the workhouse infirmary. Also I think in those days possibly the workhouse infirmary was the nearest thing to an NHS hospital. This can be seen on the workhouse web site. There's no doubt this was a probably proper professional hospital. It's only a few years later that the workhouses and their hospitals were to be handed over to local authorities and the term 'workhouse' would become history!
I hope that I am thinking along the right lines. Perhaps someone can help here. I would just like to know a little more about what life was like at that place at that time. Also to find any records for 1910 if they still exist anywhere.
The other possible avenue of research is that I believe the nearby St Mary's church was used to baptise the children born there. If so is it possible for anyone to do a look up to see if a "Cadman" was baptised there on or after 20th September 1910. And let me have the details.
If anyone can help it would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Andy
