Yorkshire folk in Croydon QLD Australia
There are entries for these Yorkshire-born people in hospital admission registers for Croydon, Queensland, Australia, 1888-1896:
BELL Cain
BERRY Henry
CHARLSWORTH Samuel
DAVEY Hannah (see WHIP Hannah)
ECCLESTON William
ELGEY Ernest James
FLANNAGAN William

This is just a small selection. There are other Yorkshire folk among the 5,000 Croydon Hospital patients (1888-1925) listed on my website.
Register entries are not always complete, but there is provision 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 that ship of arrival, place of residence, marital status and father's present residence are NOT shown on a Queensland death certificate; and a hospital register is sometimes the only surviving source of information about immigration.
To find out how to obtain copies of the hospital registers, see www.judywebster.com.au/croydon.html.
