In July 1916 a cousin of my Father was injured by being shot in France.
A newspaper report states that he was being treated in a hospital in Rochdale.
Has anyone any knowledge which hospital ths might have been and where any records for the hospital might be kept.

If he was shot in 1916 in France then I would presume he was injured in WW1. You may find some information on his military records.
