Hello Listers, I would love to gain further knowlage of this establishment and welcome any comments. I was trawling through the 1881 census looking for siblings of a Great grandmother and found James HAWKER of Eldersfield: married : patient at Park Street Militia Hospital What intrigues me was there were only two patients however there were two orderlies and the "Head" and his wife, one presumes to look after the two patients. The "Head" a George H Brown was listed as Sergeant of Militia Staff Do I presume that the patients were militry personel? and why such a small hospital? Love your comments Rhonda Bartlett Australia
