Sorry, but I am still on about that Lying in Hospital! I have found a
family history that explains why the City of London Lying in
Hospital should have "St Lukes" attached. It was in that parish for
a while. So the St Luke's workhouse was a different institution. The
web history is at
http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~cjh/woodhurst/arthalf2w.html
It says:
Arthur Alfred (2) Woodhurst was born in 1855 to parents Alfred
(1) Woodhurst and his first wife Matilda Bathurst. The birth
certificate [Birth Index: St. Lukes 1b 578, 1855 (March)] states
that he was born at the City of London Lying-in Hospital in City
Road, St. Lukes near Finsbury in London on March 10th 1855. The
informant was his mother, and his father's occupation was given
as dyer. Their home address is not mentioned. Several such
lying-in hospitals were built in London during the mid-18th
century. They were described at the time as being intended
mainly for the "wives of poor industrious tradesmen or
distressed housekeepers". The one at St. Lukes, deemed to be for
married women only, was founded in 1750 initially in Aldersgate
Street but was relocated in City Road in 1773. It was renamed
the City of London Maternity Hospital in 1918 and was later
partly destroyed by war-time bombing in 1940-41, after which it
was relocated yet again to Hanley Road in Islington before
finally closing in 1983 [LMA: Information Leaflet No. 15, April
2000].
By searching "City of London Lying in Hospital" in Lycos, one
comes across several suppliers of disks and CDs of lists of people
in the hospital. There are also pictures of the hospital
Best Wishes to everyone
