Title: Spanish Flu in Stockton on Tees 1918
Post by: romawi on Sunday 09 April 23 20:57 BST (UK)

Hi, hoping someone may be able to pint me in the right direction.
My GGrandmother, Ethel Teresa Bainbridge (née Jamieson of Viewly Hill Farm) died of the Spanish Flu in Nov/Dec 1918 aged 38 leaving two young children behind. Their father had died some years earlier. Would there likely be any hospital records from this time or any newspaper articles from the time about those who died. Any written history of the pandemic and how it affected those in Stockton and surrounding areas. Many thanks for reading.
