Evening.
Unfortunately luck was not on my side today, when it came to your request. I was unsuccessful with each, of the three full names supplied.
I will NOT say that they are not there, but though I spotted a few with the surnames of STEVENSON, STEWART, & MARSHALL, that I recited in my head, as I paged through approximately 296 pages with up to 33 or 34 employees per double page, none that caught my attention had the required given names.
Nor did I specifically try to seek out alternate spellings. As the entries are in date order, a short date range would permit a more in-depth reading, of the data recorded.
The first register [1908 – 1960] was probably of 300 pages. There was a large section at the front with thumb indexed A to Z index, unfortunately unused, then pages numbered 1 to 217 with each entry running across two pages.
The second had only been partly used, [58 pages] and there was a lot of cello tape which would not have photographed well. Both had been well thumbed through, so showing their age.
By my reckoning over 4,500 surnames, are recorded within the two registers.
The well thumbed registers are not in the best of shape with tears, and rather a lot of cello taped repairs in the 2nd book of the 1960’s.
While I was unsuccessful, I do not regret the opportunity to see the records. Unlike some I’ve looked up, these in my mind are worth pursuing, because they contain the full name of the employee, their date of birth, and THEIR PERSONAL SIGNATURE, then there are other details that a researcher can use as a cross reference.
Also as it was a big hospital, there was a scattering of farm hands, maintenance, and clerical, personal, in addition to nursing positions, employed.
Attachments show the column headings used in the two books.
Alan.
PS, If you PM me an email I can send photos to, I will forward a couple of historic records, where the surname may indicate a connection to your research.
PPS. Upon re- reading your request I NOW note that you did provide a quite defined date range so will re-order the books on my next visit, and have a more detailed look in those ranges. Unfortunately I only recorded your names of interest, and not the date range, in my little black note book. Regards - Alan.
