Croydon QLD hospital admissions 1920-1923. Judy Webster

Croydon, Queensland
More hospital admission registers
(1920-1923)
© Copyright Judy Webster. Minor update 17 Jun 2007.

Hospital admission registers for Croydon (in far north Queensland) are very useful for genealogy and family history. Croydon was declared a goldfield in 1886, and within a year its population soared to over 6,000. During the early years, 70% of those admitted to Croydon Hospital were born in Britain or Ireland, and about 15% were born in Australia's southern states (especially the Victorian goldfields). Though not all were completed in full, the registers have space for these details:

name; date admitted; age; birthplace; occupation; religion; ship of arrival; how long in colony; place of residence; marital status; place of marriage, at what age, and name of spouse; names and ages of children living; number and sex of children deceased; father's name and occupation; father's present residence if living (or 'father dead'); mother's maiden name; disease or reason for admission; date of discharge or date and cause of death; sometimes additional remarks (medical history, social circumstances etc.)

Note the provision for ship of arrival, place of residence, marital status, and father's present residence - details not found on a Qld death certificate. A hospital register is sometimes the only surviving source of information about immigration.

Names below are from an index to Croydon Hospital patients 28 Feb 1920 - 28 Mar 1923. Use the registers NOW while the closure period is only 65 years! Qld Health has closed some other hospital registers for 100 years. See also the list for 1888-1920.

Though not all were completed in full, the registers have space for these details:

Explanation of names below:

Date range: 28 Feb 1920 - 28 Mar 1923. See also the list for 1888-1920.
Scroll through the list. Many names were spelt incorrectly in these records.
'...' or a question mark means that the name was not clear in the list at the front of the register, but may be legible when the actual entry is inspected.
'Ab' = Aboriginal or part Aboriginal.
Names beginning with 'Mc' precede other 'M' surnames.
Apostrophes have been removed from names such as O'BRIEN.
If a name appears more than once, obtain photocopies of all such entries. Some give more details than others.

Copying service

Allow up to 8 weeks for a reply. I am often away for family reasons.

As a professional genealogist, I can provide photocopies of the original registers. If the same name is listed twice, that is two entries. Order ALL such entries! Often one is incorrect, incomplete or illegible but another gives full and accurate details. Qld Health could close the registers for 100 years, so use them NOW!

See the price list / payment methods for Croydon Hospital copies.
