Thanks Larry, I realised afterwards that I could look up Mount Clare on multimap, and saw then it was a suburb of Gillespie, so the "Nursing facility" idea is out the window. I also would like to add thanks to all who answered my question, its good to know people are prepared to help a fellow genealogist. Slainte!
