Place of abode on a baptism sheet. Age is 21. It looks like “____ hospital” to me. I believe she was living at a mental asylum/poor house later in life so hospital wouldn’t be out of the question. This is 1900. I believe she was in an asylum around 1918-1921. Prestwich Asylum in Manchester which I believe also operated as a poor house so not sure which “side” of that she was on.

Begins with "G"? Possibly Glenwood???

I think you’re correct on the G at least, another anode elsewhere on the page is clearly “Glasgow”

After looking at the other abodes listed I believe this may have been in London. Which would make sense as her parents were married in London though the rest of the family was to be living in Scotland. So either left behind or maybe hadn’t move yet idk. Gonna have to keep digging and make these dates make sense

If you knew who performed the baptism and/or associated church it would help narrow down the hospital location.

Westminster London. I can’t make out the name of who did the baptism though. Looks like G hap(il)? The other person on the page was C Knight
