midletonman2001 Posted 6 May , 2005 Share Posted 6 May , 2005 Does anyone have any information about Shanakiel Hospital in Sunday's Well, Cork? I was told recently that my Grandfather was sent there upon his release from Geissen. I would like to follow this lead up but I haven’t a clue how to proceed. Any suggestions please? Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean. Posted 2 December , 2005 Share Posted 2 December , 2005 Hi, Have just seen your post and i am wondering have you called to the hospital to check on any files since you posted your request. If you cant call there yourself, if you post your grandfathers name i will call to the hospital as i am about five minutes from it. Regards, Sean.

I had not considered calling to the hospital - I assumed any records would have been taken away when it 'changed hands'. Do you think they would have records for then?

Sean. Posted 4 December , 2005 Share Posted 4 December , 2005 (edited) Hi again. Shanakiel was opened around 1918, i am not sure if they would hold the records going back that far, but they may be on file in the city. I will call to the hospital tomorrow to try and get a bit more information, in the mean time if you could post the year that your grandfather was there, that would narrow it down. regards, Sean. PS. Since posting this yesterday I hve contacted the hospital and you are right their records dont go back that far. Sean, Edited 5 December , 2005 by Sean.

midletonman2001 Posted 5 December , 2005 Author Share Posted 5 December , 2005 (edited) Thanks for your efforts Sean He must have been there any time from when it opened to the summer of the following year. I have not been able to determine exactly when he travelled home but he was married in Midleton in September of 1919. I thought the records would be held in The National Archives in Kew in London but I could find no mention of them on the web site. I did enquiry about the records in Cork Library's Local Studies Department but they had no knowledge sadly.
