st austin's court shrewsbury

[k.whigham]

I have found that an ancestor died (of scrofula, age 10 in 1859) at St Austin's Court, Shrewsbury and wondered if anyone can tell me if this was a hospital of some sort.  I have no record of the family ever living at this address.

Thanks, Kathryn

I do not know if it was a hospital or an address but St Austin Friars was/is the area around the Priory Grammar  School(now the sixth form college) hope this helps

I suggest that you telephone the Shropshire Archives in Shrewsbury

Telephone: 01743 255350
Telephones are answered personally where possible during normal working hours - an answer phone service is available at other times.

or send them an email

They will look up the street name for you, for no charge, and will even send you a copy of the map for about £3.50 (I think!!!, please check as I think it might have gone up now).

Hope this helps
