Not sure if I'm posting this in the right place. Can any one help please, I am trying to find out if St Mary's Ho.(not sure if Ho. is short for Home/House/ Hotel in Nightingale Road, Southsea, Hants was a nursing home in the 1940's. I am still looking for the DOD & place of my Great Great Grandmother & a few weeks ago came across a Mrs Mary Lee residing at St Mary's Ho. Nightingale Road, Southsea in the early 1940's. As she was born in 1865 she would be about 80's at the time. I do know one of her last photo's was of her in a wheelchair on a street in Portsmouth.

No need to start a new thread Sheil, it will only mean people duplicating to try and help, especially as you have added the query to the original..

Hi Susan, Sorry for not getting back sooner but have just seen your message about you living in the Southsa area & may be able to help. If you look on my threads re: my Great Grandmother Mary Jane Lee who was born in 1865 & lived in Portsmouth most of her life I came across a place in Nightingale road , a St Mary's Ho. where a Mrs Mary Lee was listed as living in 1940's & wondered if that would have been a home or nursing home or hotel. I am looking for the DOD & place of my great-grandmother.
