As Judy said Gosford Hospital didnt open til 1945 and there are a series of small cottage hospitals pror to that . Have no idea what happened to their records ..Sent to the tip probably . My mother told me she had to leave school at age 13( > 1928) to care for her mother who had 2 broken legs.

To find it could take a while :-) I know Mum said Nana walked miles around the district raising funds > for the Ambulance. Was this before or after her > "accident" I wonder. There was a lot of fund raising for all sorts of things and often for the long planned for local State Hospital from the early 1900's . Did your Nana die in the Gosford area ? Might have been an obituary ? Bye MargM Central Coast List Admin
