Nottinghamshire / Re: Mental Hospital Ratcliffe on Trent
« on: Monday 23 April 12 11:29 BST (UK)  »
Can I just add....my grandmother worked as a helper of nurses in this hospital - sometime in the 1950s......a lady by the name of violet left this hospital as a patient there and moved in with my granparents for many years. As far as I was told there was nothing mentally wrong with her - she just had a withered arm - that is all. So I can only presume that there were other 'non mental' patients there.

Incidentially, my grandmother was fired from there due to a patient falling in the bath I believe for negligence however this wasnt a job she should have been doing in her role. I think it left a bitter taste in her mouth as she was a very caring person. They had a small holding nearby which was since knocked down and has a modern housing estate on it.

Nottinghamshire Lookup Requests / Re: death and marriage registry

thankyou - yes, that sounds about right - Basford is within Nottingham. Wondering still about their children  and what happened to them? Have a feeling last child (a girl which I think belonged to them according to what I tried to look up) was born in 1938...so possibly a child birthing death?

Nottinghamshire Lookup Requests / death and marriage registry
« on: Monday 23 April 12 10:13 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone help me? New to this so please go easy!
I have tried finding a death register for a Lilian Spurr. Married a Robert Spurr in around 1924. She must have died as Robert Spurr married another woman in 1944 which states on the marriage cert that he was a widower. Robert and Lilian apparently had a few children...to which I cannot find either.

My other search is of a Ada Spurr who was born in nottingham about 1903/4/5 - she married at some point to I cannot find who..and moved to the west indies.

Any help will be greatfully recieved

I too have queries on selston/westwood ancestors regarding the Clarke family.

Grandmother born in westwood 1903 - mary jane hughes.
mother was born Emily Clarke - born around 1870s- had a brother called John Clarke, unsure how many other siblings.

There was talk on ownership of land to do with mining there - very sketchy.
