Does anyone know if there are any records on line or anywhere else for this hospital.

They would be held at the Liverpool Record Office if there are any and I think there must be some although I don't see them in the listing

Search for Newsham or Seamas Orphanage and you will see some photographs.

Send an email to the Records Office and they will be able to tell you what there is.

The place to check on hospital records is the Welcome Library catalogue at TNA

Many thank's to Mary A, and Martin for the info.
I took your advice and contacted Central Library Records office Liverpool,where I had excellent service but no luck with the records,as not many had survived from 1918.
Thank's again,
Alan

I'm afraid so many records were destroyed during the blitz .... that and a few fires and floods around the country !! ... I'll keep checking but I think it's going to be pretty slow - going !!

I'll keep my eye open for any new avenues to persue  OK ?
