  Free BMD - Births Sep 1884 Hallam John William Basford 7b 152 - Now got it! Marriage certificate 8 December 1906 (obtained 8/2/02): John William Hallam, aged 22, Bachelor, Coal Miner of North Norman Street, Cotmanhay. No father or profession entered. Ada Woolley, aged 20, spinster of North Norman Street, Cotmanhay. Father Aurthur Woolley, Labourer at Gas Works. Married according to the Rites & Ceremonies of the Methodist Free Church. Ebenezer Chapel, Awsworth Road, Ilkeston, Derbys. Witnesses: Edward Davies, Elizabeth Pope. Cotmanhay, Christ Church Parish Registers: Baptism 1908, May 20. John William son of John William & Ada. 57 Ash St, Miner. by Jas. J. Hutchinson. Arthur Hallam: April/May/June Qtr 1909 REF: Basford 7b 237 - To get yet. On Sons (Walter-My Grandad) COPY Birth Certificate says Father is a Coalminer, Hewer (Cotmanhay, Ilkeston). Resided 121, Highbury Road, Nottingham. Cannot find this at all? Always been a Hospital? Now believed to be the Basford Workhouse. This became Highbury Hospital and presumably this address continued to be used on certificates. Nottm University Archives: Highbury Hospital had its origins in the provisions of the 1837 Poor Law Act and was, for its first eighty years, the infirmary of the Basford Union Workhouse. These origins led it to specialise in particular types of disability and for a considerable time it functioned both as a hospital for mental and geriatric patients and as a general hospital staffed by specialists from Nottingham General Hospital providing surgery and midwifery services. Custodial history: The records were transferred to the University from the Nottinghamshire Area Health Authority (Teaching) South Nottingham District in April 1976 and April 1979. Scope:The records consist primarily of registers of the admission and discharge of patients (1895-1950). There are also registers of persons of unsound mind detained in the institution (1914-1947) and registers of sick, maternity and mental patients (1911-1950). Registers of births (1871-1947) and of deaths (1871-1948) are also present, as is a delivery ward register (1916-1942). Records dealing with the Basford Union as an administrative unit were transfered to Nottinghamshire Archives Office. (These include some records of a medical nature, notably vaccination registers.) The records held at the University relate only to the admissions, discharges and treatment of patients while in Highbury Hospital. Did John William Hallam die in WW1?? * Checked and checked - nothing found as yet (Sept 2007) Must be a death somewhere! Name: Was Deaf? Might have misread birth certificate? Present at birth? Lived in Ilkeston. What happened to him and his wife Ada Woolley? My Grandad Walter Herbert born Sept 1911. Nothing found after this date!!
