Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 85 Send Message	My gt grandfather's death certificate states that he died on 19/4/1939 at a private hospital at 70 Newhall St, Birmingham. It doesn't give the name of the hospital. How can I find that out? And would I be able to get his medical records? Thanks Sophie

	Sophie what was his cause of death? It may have been a private hospital during the war but it's not very far from the old Ear,Nose & Throat Hospital in Birmingham, you would probably find the info you need at Birmingham Central Library. Georgina.

	Hi Sophie Renal Calculus is kidney stones. I didn't think people died from that, maybe things have progressed since then. Beverley
