63 Possil Road, Glasgow
« on: Tuesday 14 June 11 04:00 BST (UK) »
I am looking for any information or direction in locating a hospital from a 1946 birth certificate is/was at 63 Possil Road, Glasgow.
I am trying to trace my relative and their parents' movements. If the hospital exists and if there is any way they or somewhere else has records that are available, I would be most appreciative.
Thank You, Robert

Thank you Lodger and fifer1947 for your invaluable information. I will jump on and look around and make contact.
As I am in Australia local knowledge! Nothing beats it that's for sure. I am indebted to you.
Kind regards,
Robert

It was a general hospital but as far as I know it seemed to specialise in childbirth cases, especially "at-risk" women, older women, complications etc.
