London Clinics

[Gollach]

Hi everyone, I have a relative who set up a Clinic in Marylebone High Street, Welbeck, London in the 1940s/50s ... how would I go about finding out what this Clinic was?  is there a register of businesses/ clinics that I can go through somewhere? 
Many thanks in advance.

Lots of clinics in that area (Harley Street is very close).

Was he a doctor? If so check the medical registers. Ancestry's collection goes up to 1959.

Thank you for responding.  No the lady was a Nurse and the Clinic was the Levack Clinic.  I have an account with Ancestry so what would I search under? please.  Many thanks.

Hi
In 1939 Miss Levack resided in Flat 1 at 77, Marylebone High Street
London Post Office Directory and also 1939 Register
Up until 1956 she appears to live in Wimbledon and then marries?

Berkshire Record Office hold the historical copies of Yellow Pages but they don't seem to be available online.

I see the entries in the Nursing Register giving her address as the Levack Clinic, 77 Marylebone High Street. But I can't see any other references to the Levack Clinic. Nothing in contemporary phone books, no newspaper ads or mentions, nothing in Google Books.

Good morning Rebel, I tried to post a reply and it went down a hole somewhere, you may get 2 replies from me.  I did manage to find Jane Levack on Ancestry in 1939 residing at that address and it had her occupation as Nurse (Territorial Army).  i was intrigued by the "Levack Clinic" status and wonder now whether it was a Nursing Clinic??  She did go on to marry later in life (age 55) to a Percival Lyons in Jan 1956 in Hove, Sussex but unfortunately her husband only lived for a further 3 months.  Jane's last address is in Hove, before passing at the grand age of 92 .. not bad for a young lass from the North of Scotland.  I have also now discovered a probate entry in Ancestry for her .. what does this mean? She had no family herself so not sure who would have benefitted from her will.  Many thanks everyone on here, you're all brilliant.  It's like a jig-saw puzzle until you find the last piece...  Regards all, Gollach

Thank you Shaun for helping with this.  Very much appreciated.  It's so kind of you.

There is an advertisement in 1939 for Sister Levack:

"Colonic Lavage - Sister Levack, 77 Marylebone High Street, WEL 9790"
Thursday,  Aug. 24, 1939
Publication: The Daily Telegraph

Jane was also enrolled as a midwife. Could she perhaps have been offering private anteatal care to expectant women too?
