Maybe that's the right death too then as she was known as Minnie

Lucy M could be Lucy Minnie if that what the informant thought Her name was

How fascinating! This has really helped me and I’m very grateful to all of you. I have a few different threads to pull now.

While I was searching I came across a facebook page called "Pastures Hospital Appreciation Society"

Many of the members of the page appear to have very long associations with the hospital - most of them seem to have worked there at some stage and could well have been around when your Lucy was there. Someone may just remember her - after all, if she arrived around 1917/1918 and probably died there around 1965, that is something like 46 / 47 years so surely people must remember 'Minnie' (Lucy).

You can join their 'group' here:

Hi Eleanor,

I have just seen your post on that site...

May I suggest that you also tell people on there that she was still in there in 1942 and may well have died in there around 1965?

I think initially if people just see that she went in in 1918 they will think that as it was over 100 years ago they will be unable to help as they weren't around then but I have seen fron the posts that some of those people were there in the 50's and 60's so they will perhaps think further ?
