Eliza Ann Footitt ne Norman was my G Grandmother and she was born in c1872 in Littleport , she married my G Grandfather in G Gonerby Church .I have recently found out that she was a member of Great Gonerby and Manthorpe Nursing association and the mothers union of G Gonerby since their foundation and was also a district midwife . I wonder , as one does , if records of the above bodies still exist anywhere and if anyone on this list could point me in their direction . She passed away at Hill View Hospital on 30 March 1951 - I don't know where this hosptal was/is located . I knew her only briefly as I was born in 1945 . T I A . Mick Wilson .

Mick, Hill View Hospital was located on Dysart Road in Grantham. It was the Workhouse before becoming an Old Peoples Hospital and later became a Maternity Hospital . My son was born there in 1971. The exact address then was 137 Dysart Road. It closed down in early 1970's when Grantham Hospital had a new wing attached. All gone now but look on Googlemaps and you will see "Appoline Dental Care" on Dysart Road. It was at the rear of those premises. Regarding the Gt Gonerby and Manthorpe Nursing Association, have a look on British Newspapers on line. Under Grantham Journal you will see quite a few references. The edition of 9 Jan 1937 mentions J Footitt serving refreshments! You might have some luck if you e mail "Grantham Journal" also "Grantham Matters" website and ask them to put a letter in , asking for anyone who has memories or details. e mail:- GranthamMatters@gmail.com *comment@granthamjournal.co.uk <comment@granthamjournal.co.uk>.* For your Interest ,you will see a story from me, added today, on Grantham Matters Website regarding the finding of some Family Papers.
