Title: Marple Childrens' Orthopaedic Hospital
Post by: admin on February 03, 2006, 06:02:36 PM

This message is posted on behalf of Liz Appleby. If anyone can help Liz with even a small snippet of information, then please post it here......

Is it possible to find any one who knows anything about Marple Childrens' Orthopaedic Hospital, ex patients, Dr's, Nurses, cooks, cleaners or any one who had any thing to do with it. I was a patient with TB spine & therefore was a resident of Marple. I spent ages in there & had a lot of treatment. We also were an extension company of the Marple Girl Guides. Is there any one who came to see us and advise us on that? Does any one remember Raymond Prince & Jean Mackenzie? Does any one of those guide leaders who used to visit us on our beds remember us( I think one was called Celia) Also the crippled childrens' society used to visit us. Is there any one there who remembers us, the lost residents of Marple. Please help if you can. It would mean so much to me. I was known in those days as Marion Kennerley/now I am known by my 1st name Liz & married name Appleby. Please help if you can it would mean so much to me.

Thanks eeyore 21. It was good to hear from you. I would love to know more about your Mum & Aunt. I'm having trouble logging in or something. What did your Mum & Aunt do? I went home in 56 but they may have been there then & may know of people & things about the Hospital. Would love to know more about them, if you can help me.

Thanks so much for your reply I would love to know more about your Mum & Aunt. They may have been there when I was there, Do you know or can you ask them what they remember, the hospital patients staff anything the treatments & treatment of the patients, anything however small. I do appreciate your offer to help. Best wishes Liz/ I was known then as Marion Kennerley & lived in Siddington on a farm.

Hi Tricky, Yes, it was entirely due to the radio show that we have been reunited after all these years. Its amazing to have a result & so quickly! Do you listen to it most Sundays? I'm so happy with the result. Best wishes Liz
