Lanark Hospital
« on: Friday 11 September 15 12:55 BST (UK) »
Hi there, looking for anyone who knows about "Lanark Hospital" in the early 1880s. The only information I can gather is that there was a charity hospital run by the Sisters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul. Was there any other hospital where paupers might have found treatment, such as a workhouse hospital? The relative I'm working on was very poor and was given a pauper's burial, but she was not apparently an inmate of the workhouse, living at home with her family until the illness became too serious for home treatment. Very poor, but not destitute. Her death certificate registers her place of death just as "Lanark Hospital". 
Many thanks!
Jane
