Member Since: May 2007 Posts: 9 Send Message	My grt, grt grandfather's death cert tells me he died at the Union Infirmary, Isleworth, London. Can anyone tell me if this was a general hospital or in fact linked to a workhouse? What is meant by the term Union infirmary?. His wife was still alive at the time of his passing, and she was living at 22, The Butts, Brentford, Middlesex at the time.

Googling "Union Infirmary, Isleworth" found this, among other items: MISS PARKER, who was trained at the Wareford Hospital, Leamington, has been appointed Sister at the Brentford Union Infirmary, Isleworth in which institution she has been a nurse for the last two years., - from The Nursing Record & Hospital World, July 2nd, 1898
