I hadn't meant to suggest ('Googling for "Lepper Hospital" brings up the helpful "Did you mean Leper Hospital?", but "Beaumont Quay" is more productive.') the absence of a hospital, rather the absence of Google hits on the site when using that phrase. I'm quite willing to accept that part of your research may well have been lost in the intervening years and that this particular nugget hasn't yet made it to the Web. We too often forget the somewhat erratic nature of information on the Internet - comparing the Wikipedia with Encyclopedia Brittanica on the same topic for several random entries will certainly prove enlightening to anyone who's forgotten that "you get what you pay for".
