Westhulme Hospital, Oldham
« on: Tuesday 04 August 20 08:37 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I have several members of my family who died in Westhulme Fever Hospital, Oldham in 1909.
However when I search for further information regarding the hospital, it doesn't appear to have
been a hospital until 1929. Can anyone enlighten me? Also is it possible to obtain any records of patients in those days?
Thank you ....in anticipation.

Hospital records seem to be at Local Archives  - scroll down but not for your years.

Thank you for that speedy reply....at least the date of the hospital has been cleared up :)
Maybe I should apply for a death certificate to find out more.
Thanks again.
