Queen Mary's Hospital, Carshalton

I would be so grateful if someone would look up some information when they are doing their own research.  My aunt's mother was a WWI Canadian War Bride who died young, so her memories of her are few.  I got the marriage certificate, searched the Censuses and birth records, but have been unable to find where she was born and lived before this time.  Emily Budd, daughter of Harry Budd (deceased) married William Charles Offord on August 31st, 1918 at All Saints Church, Carshalton. Her address was listed as Queen Mary's Hospital, Carshalton.  She is listed as William's next-of-kin living at No. 1. Pearl Street Cottage. Winkfield, Nr Windsor, Berks.

I think the hospital staff records will shed more light on where she came from.  With that information, I could find out her parents' names and any brothers and sisters to tell my aged aunt.  Thanks for any help with this!

Emily Budd is proving very hard to pin down. We started looking for William in the hope that there would be clues when we found the two of them together,as to Emily's date or place or birth.
But so far Rosie and I are stumped on this one.

Her father's name may not be Harry,if she was illegitimate or her dad died when she was very young it may be the first name she thought of (perhaps her brother?) when asked who her father was at her wedding.

  Is there any chance that Emily Budd was a patient & not a Nurse as in 1981 my daughter age 3 months was at this hospital at the time it was a childrens hospital but all the wards where singular buildings spread about in the grounds when my daughter went for her operation we where transported in a kind of milk float when I asked why all building where so far apart I was told it was because it used to be an isolation hospital for t.b. e.c.t.  do you know the cause of her death ? . If she was a nurse could she have picked up something that ended her life so young ?
