Title: 200 Faubourg St. Denis, Paris
Post by: Quester on Tuesday 15 February 22 17:07 GMT (UK)

Hi,,
 I have an ancester who was born in 1878 in Southsea, Hampshire. However, she died on
2 March 1908 at 200 Faubourg St. Denis, Paris, France and she was a spinster.
Does anyone know what this place might have been then please, was it a hospital perhaps?
Any info would be most welcome.
Regards Quester

It is a hospital, now the Hôpital Fernand Widal, but back then it was known as the Maison Dubois.
