Hello list, My ggrandmother Clara Jane Grant died (according to her death certificate) in 1883 at Marrickville Road, Marrickville. The cause of death says "operation collapse". Her baby daughter died a month before her mother aged 10 weeks. She left two very small daughters including my grandmother. I suspect it could have been in Marrickville Hospital but haven't been able to find any records. State Records come up negative for them. Can anyone help as to where I can look next. Thanks, Lesley on the beautiful northern beaches of Sydney

"A Marrickville Cottage Hospital was opened on 10th June 1899 by the Governor of New South Wales Earl Beauchamp. After a site in Lilydale Street had been purchased for £ 334, a hospital with 12 beds was erected by J. Elstone, a local builder at a cost of £2,727." Quotation taken from Marrickville People and Places, by Meader Cashman and Carrolan. It would appear that it is not Marrickville hospital.
