I think it used to be St. Stephen's Hospital and before that Fulham Road Infirmary, connected to Fulham Road Workhouse: http://users.ox.ac.uk/~peter/workhouse/StGeorges/StGeorges.shtml You could try LMA Fulham Road Workhouse admission and discharge books, often women would go in right before they gave birth as they got free medical treatment. Records are at the LMA. There's also the 'creed register' which details the religion of those who came in and something called 'case books' and 'record books' for about 1919 which might have more information. (checking on www.a2a.org.uk for Fulham Road Workhouse) Try contacting the LMA directly: http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/Corporation/leisure_heritage/libraries_archives_museums_galleries/JAS/lma/lma.htm '' Rose
