Hi,

Does anyone have any info about this place, I have an Uncle born there in 1918, but my Grandmother didn't live in London.

Thanks

Clapham Maternity Hospital (1889 - 1935), later named Annie McCall Maternity Hospital, closed 1970   
 
Jeffrey's Road London SW4
 
Records at London Metropolitan Archives and St Georges Hospital Medical School Library.

There's no mention in the Hospital Records Database of any surviving patient records coverng 1918.

There may be something in the admission & discharge registers. I would advise contacting the London Metropolitan Archives.

Does your aunt's birth certificate suggest that she may have been adopted?

You may hit difficulties because 1924 is before the start of formal adoption procedures.
