I have been on the Burial Record site and found a George Henry Griffin (Engineer age 46 died at the Crimean Lane Hospital I was wondering where this hospital would be. Could this be during the War and was it a war hospital abroad or did we have one here in Sheffield.
George is one of my Ancestors so am very interested to find out where this would have been.
It states he is buried in Shiregreen Cemetery (died lst February 1946)
Any help would be appreciated

Hello Marlene,

It was probably a mis entry of Crimicar Lane Hospital.

Hi
Crimicar Lane Hospital was the Smallpox and TB hospital

Could someone please check to see if there is a grave stone for George Henry Griffin in Shiregreen Cemetery and would they be able to email me a photo if one exists

Thank you
