'Institution at 3 Brunswick Square' Bristol, Does anyone know about it?
« on: Thursday 15 January 09 06:57 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

The 1911 census has thrown up a male relative, aged 23, as an inmate in an 'Institution'  located at 3 Brunswick  Square, subdistrict Bristol Central.

Does anyone know what kind of institution this was? The person in question didn't come from Bristol.

Any help would be appreciated on this one
Staffordshire: Burton upon Trent, Dunstall, Rugeley,Kings Bromley, Alrewas,
Leicestershire: Leicester.
Kingsclere, Hampshire

Hello
Brunswick Square is located in the St Paul's district of Bristol. It was developed as one of the first Bristol Suburbs in the 18th Century and is has had an interesting and powerful history since.

In the 1880's the Hahnemann Homeopathic Hospital was established there. I believe during the late 1900's the Freemason's also had Lodges in the Square. I do not know what their exact addresses were.

Maybe by consulting a historic dictionary such as Kelly's you may find the answer. There are some online

www.historicaldirectories.org

or you may need to approach the Bristol Archive Office or Central Reference Library

Good Luck
