Title: St George's Hospital, London
Post by: gillybilly on Thursday 19 January 17 20:35 GMT (UK)

My 3x great grandmother Mary Ann Porter was born in 1819 in Langtoft in Lincolnshire, and died in 1850. She married Christopher Clark (aka William Clark) in 1841 and lived in Stamford, Lincolnshire. She was buried at All Saints, Stamford on 9th August 1850, age 31.
The  burial record on Find My Past says 'From St George's Hospital, London' so guess that her body was brought back to Stamford for burial. I would like to get her death certificate, and have found a possible entry:
Mary Ann Clark Q3 1850 St George in the East, London  Vol2 p49

I am wondering whether there was a St George's Hospital in this area at that time, and hope someone with a bit more local knowledge can tell me.

Hi gilly

you need the other death for Mary Ann Clark in that quarter at St George Hanover Square.

Sep 1850
Clark    Mary Ann         St George Hanover Square    1   11

The new GRO search facility shows this lady dies aged 33.

The one at St George in the East was a child.

St George's Hospital was at Hyde Park Corner until 1976 when it moved to Tooting in south London. The original building is now The Lanesborough Hotel.
