Clement Courtenay Ligoure (d. 1922)

[Amber1867]

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can search for Clement Courtenay Ligoure. He was a physician during the Halifax Explosion (Halifax, Nova Scotia, 1917).  Clement died in 1922. I'm particularly interested in where he died and was buried.

Thanks so much,
Amber

No death showing in Nova Scotia BMD records - unless the spelling is different.

The former site of Dr. Clement Ligoure's Amanda Private Hospital at 5812 North Street in Halifax. In the aftermath of the Halifax Explosion, Ligoure's hospital became one of the dressing stations for people that required medical care for non-life-threatening injuries

Thank you for checking, Sandra. I now suspect he may have a connection with New York and I will see if someone can check there. Thanks so much!
