Evening All, Can anyone tell me if there is a website for looking up people in hospitals or institutions? My 3rd gt grandad James Longhurst b:1807 Soreditch is on 51, 61, & 71. I think I have found his death Sept qtr 1887 aged 80 but cant be sure till I have the certificate. I cant find him on 1881 have even checked his children. Cant find his wife Hannah either. Any suggestions anyone? Marie
