Typhoid 1869 Scotswood

[lindagene]

 

Does anybody know anything about where a typhoid victim would have been nursed in Scotswood Bridge, (where they built the bridge over the Tyne) area in 1869.

I have just had the death certificate of Thomas Snowdon, age 36, typhoid 22 days, certified, and the informant was 'in attendance'   and not a member of the family, so I presume a nursing personage.

The place of death is given as Scotswood Bridge, was there a hospital or a workhouse there in 1869?

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks Audrey, this has proved a very interesting site quite apart from my particular interest in it.
