Herefordshire / Re: Emma Holland death 1947 Whitchurch/Symonds Yat - Cedar House
« on: Monday 26 October 15 15:33 GMT (UK) »
I am researching my family and am currently looking at the Ballinger’s. They all seem to come from Whitchurch/Doward!
I don’t know if you can help me ?
My Grandfather Frederick William or William Frederick Ballinger was born in Whitchurch in 1889 but seems to have returned to Whitchurch in the 1930’s
He is recorded as having died in January 1940 at The Cedars, Whitchurch. I believe that your property – Cedar House – is the same place.
Do you have any history of the house around 1940 that my help me solve the mystery of why he was there – I know he had split up with my grandmother earlier (around 1931). The person who registered his death was an H. Gardiner who is shown as Occupier, The Cedars, Whitchurch.
I understand the house was an Asylum at some point but I have failed to confirm when. Also an entry in this forum say it was never a (Nursing) Home
Hope you can help me
Thanks
