Stirling fever hospital

Written in my grandmother's diary, 'Mary Barclay, 1878 died fever hospital Stirling of typhoid aged 27yrs'. Cannot find any record of her death or the hospital. Can anyone help please?

Hello Roots chatter,

Sorry I can't help with your person but as far as I know the fever hospital was actually in

Bannockburn, now Bannockburn Hospital, on way to Plean.

Good luck. People on this site are very helpful and some very experienced.

Hi and welcome to Rootschat

I wonder if it should be read as Mary Barclay born 1878 died aged 27

There is one Mary Barclay death in Stirling in 1906 and she was born 1878

Photo having just passed the hospital on the road from Plean to Bannockburn.
It hasn't been a fever hospital for a very long time. over at least the past 40 to 50 years it has cared mainly for the very elderly and elderly/terminally ill.
It's due to be bemolished in the very near future.

Cheers.

Did you go out and take the photograph or already have it? Either way thank you so much. Wish I had found this site years ago, people are so helpful!

There was an earlier Fever Hospital than the one at Bannockburn, it was at Kildean, to the west of the town. Kildean was built in the very early 1900s and the buildings are still there.
There would have been a Fever Hospital before Kildean but I don't know where.
Perhaps the Stiling Local History Society could help. They will have a web site.

Cheers.
