I'm trying to find my half brother DAVID JOHN MORGAN 24-6-52, born at Mildmay Hospital.

If anyone has knowledge of him, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Regards

Jim Maltby

There is or was a Mildmay Mission Hospital in Hackney Road, London, according to google.

Could this be the hospital - Liz

Mildmay Mission Hospital

Hackney Road, Shoreditch, E2 7NA


Medical dates:



Medical character:
1877 - 1982

Acute

During the cholera epidemic of 1866, the Revd William Pennefather (1816-1877), vicar of St Jude's in Mildmay Park, set out to help the East End sick, together with a team of Christian women (later to be known as Deaconesses).

In 1892 the Mildmay Mission Hospital, a charitable organisation, opened in Hackney Road as a memorial to Revd Pennefather and to serve the local population.

The Hospital joined the NHS in 1948 but government cutbacks in the early 1980s, singling out small district general hospitals as 'uneconomical', forced its closure in 1982.

Present status (December 2007)

The Hospital reopened in 1988 as an independent Christian charitable hospital caring for HIV/AIDS patients and their families. The first European AIDS hospice was established

Mildmay Hospital is in London.

David was born there, but I've traced him to a military background; possibly RAF.

The trail goes cold there.

Have you tried contacting the RAF, they should have a record of him, especially if he is on a pension. You could also try friends reunited, facebook or the electoral rolls, and a search on this site.
Good luck,
Liz
