So, I need to google each address and see if it was ever a nursing home or whatever. That sounds like a long job for sometime in the distant future!

In one of James Herriot's books about a vet's life in Yorkshire, he talks about his wife having a baby in the 1930s.
Most women had a midwife attend the birth at home, but in this case the midwife would ask the woman to move into the spare bedroom in her house, deliver the baby, and keep them there for up to 10 days. Father would get to visit for about 10 minutes each day
so the baby would be born at one address, but mother live at another.
It sounded as though that was pretty common in rural areas ....... it certainly assured the mother lots of rest!My grandmother, on the beach, South Bay, Scarborough, undated photo (poss. 1929 or 1930)
