She was listed as a patient in the "Sheffield General Infirmary" at census time. Does anyone know of research that might have been done on the Infirmary during that period. It would be interesting to know even its location or a bit of history. Hi, Sheffield General Infirmary was also know just as the Infirmary. It was on Penistone Road between Infirmary Road which was below the Sheffield University in the bottom of the valley. _http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&tab=wl&q=Sheffield%20_ (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&tab=wl&q=Sheffield%20) It has now been demolished except for the Georgian front which was left. Have a look at this site http://www.picturesheffield.com/database_search.php and look for Sheffield Royal Infirmary.
