I'm looking for info on a relative who moved to Accrington from Scotland and died at this hospital. He was my Grampa's brother, he lived at 57 GRANGE STREET Accrington, which I don't know if itrs still standing.I don't know if the hospital was still in existence either? I have not found the name of the woman he lived with (1950's scandal) and whether he married, as may have had family giving me unknown relatives!His name was LEO MURRAY and he died suddenly afged 35 on 27 March 1952. I realise its a long shot but any help would be greatly appreciated as I have never been there

Still looking for any information on whether this hospital is still in existence. If it is I may be able to get medical records there. Thanks. M

Many thanks for this Janet. Its ironic that his date of death on the gravestone is actually wrong by 4 days. It was 27th nort 31st March. M
