does anybody remember my mother joyce marriott who also was known as mrs macdonald and lived at mrytle road,heeley & burcot road off chesterfield road she also had a friend called florence steffano who lived at moorfields flats near west bar.they also spent time in oakdale house,otherwise known as the house of help on broomspring lane.joyce marriott/macdonald had triplets at nether edge hospital in june 1957 does anybody know her or can remember being at nether edge at the same time ---any info would be welcome to solve the riddle of a missing triplet.

i have copy of a document in 1957 from sheffield public health dept stating the address as "maternity & child welfare centre,orchard place(leopold street),sheffield 1.this is where all women wishing to be delivered at the 2 local authority hospitals had to attend to be "booked in "---everyone was interviewed,usually by a health visitor and a chart made out longhand.all the relevant tests were carried out and the patient saw a doctor to have the pregnancy confirmed--the urine was tested by heating over a bunsen burner and an application form completed for the chosen place of delivery.YELLOW-CITY HOSPITAL;WHITE-NETHER EDGE & PINK FOR A HOME DELIVERY.NOTE :JESSOPS DID NOT USE THE CENTRAL HEALTH CLINIC FOR BOOKINGS. a dr flowerday who had polio as a child and walked with a limp was very well known & respected.hope this jogs any further memories.
