My mother's sister, Irene (Rene) Jackson (technically my aunt) died aged 4yrs in November 1925. I believe there is some kind of mystery surrounding this little girl and am trying to unpick it.
I received her death certificate today which cited her place of death as 31 Green Lane, Patricroft, Eccles. This was not the family home. That was 6 Bennett's Buildings, King Street, Stretford.
My mother's parents are listed as Rene's parents so that side of things look OK but why a different address?
The old workhouse, I believe, was 21 Green Lane. Was there a hospital nearby too?
This happened a couple of months after my mum was born so my mum could not help whilst she was alive. I heard that there may have been something wrong with Rene and she did not live at home. Was the Bridgewater Hospital at 31 Green Lane in 1925? Was this a psychiatric hospital?
Any help would be more than gratefully received.
Many thanks in advance.
