Michael Kidney and the Whitechapel Infirmary

[Chris Scott]

In the Victims section on Stride, there is the following paragraph:

"Michael Kidney is a waterside laborer. He is born in 1852 and is 7 years younger than Liz. they live at 35 Devonshire Street, moving to 36 Devonshire five months prior to her murder. At the time of the murder Kidney is living at 33 Dorset Street. In June 1889 Kidney is treated for syphilis in the Whitechapel Infirmary and again in September for Lumbago and dyspepsia."

I have found the June 1889 entry for Kidney (see below) which reads as follows:
Date of Admission: 11 June 1889
Name: Kidney, Michael
Age: 36
Where Admitted From: Workhouse
Married or Single: Single
Calling: Dock labourer
Cause of admission: Syphilis
Date of Discharge: 24 June 1889

I assumed from the way this passage was worded that Kidney's second admission was in September of the same year (i.e. 1889) but I have looked through all entries for that month and can find no entry for Kidney
I have also looked at September 1890 but again could find no entry for him
Does anyone know the date of Kidney's second admission?

Thanks
Chris

Hi Robert
Many thanks indeed for that info which has proved to be accurate - many thanks to Martin:-)
Details of the two admissions are below - these give Kidney's age as 40 (the June admission had him as 36) and both have an address of 12 Thrawl Street
Thanks again
Chris
