I recently learnt that my great great grandmother, Eliza Cracknell (born Davy) fell ill on consumption and was admitted to the St. George's Hospital, Queen's Ward, in 1843. She normally lived in Westminster, London.
I can't seem to pinpoint which St. George's Hospital, and I can't find a 'Queen's ward'. Could anyone point me in the right direction to find some information on this hospital? I'm wondering if there are any records still surviving.
Many thanks
Pam

She normally lived in Westminster, London.
What did you mean by "lived in Westminster"? Whereabouts was she? "Westminster" is open to so many interpretations.

I googled "old photos hyde park corner"
It returned "Old Photos Hyde Park Corner - Image results" (7 images displayed) and immediately below "More Old Photos Hyde Park Corner images"
I clicked on "More Old ....." and tabbed down until a drawing of St George's Hospital appeared - 1st image in row (immediately below an image of a wristwatch!!).
Unable to post URL - it is endless - and sadly my IT skills do not extend to "copy/paste"."dyfal donc a dyr y garreg"

Thank you all for the information you sent -it was very helpful.
Peter - in 1842 she lived at 249 Strand, St. Clement Dane. Perhaps my geography's a bit off, but if there's only one St. George's Hospital in town, then the one that's been identified is probably the right one.
Thanks again
Pam

Nobody is doubting that it's the right hospital.
