1. Re: [UK-W&H] Northgate Hospital, Great Yarmouth. [1]
Hi Michael, Well, thats strange - this hospital does not appear to be on the HOSPREC site. More strange because the hospital is still there, situated off Northgate Street in Great Yarmouth. It is now administered by the James Paget NHS Trust. I would contact the Norfolk Record Office for details of records they hold, if any. Details are: Norfolk Record Office, Gildengate House, Anglia Square, Upper Green Lane, Norwich. NR3 1AX Telephone: 01603 761349 http://www.norfolk.gov.uk/council/departments/nro/nroinde

On looking further I have come across quite a few families giving Albert Cottages/Albert Houses as there address. Given the fact my grandmother was born in a Union Workhouse, could this be the Union Workhouse address.

Any help and direction would be much appreciated! Thanks, Rob in New York, U.S.

Hi Jill, Do you know if it was Myrtle Street in Hoxton or Hackney? I don't recall seeing that home mentioned in the catalogues for the Hackney and Shoreditch Unions which covered the two addresses. Was it an independent home? You could check it out in a contemprary street directory which will tell you who ran the
8. [UK-W&H] Styal House [1]
Hi all I have a couple of questions regarding Styal House, I went to the Workhouse web site and found that it was operated by the Chorlton Union, but I gather that the Poor Law Unions no longer existed in the 1950's, so who was running Styal House or Homes in the 1950's and what role did it have in the community. My mother was in Styal house in the 1950's and I am trying to trace the records of her stay, so who would hold them. TIA Paula Heald Culeenup Island West Australia

Hi Sally, There are two places called Minster in Kent, one in the Thanet Union and one in the Sheppey Union. The Sheppey Union has a birth register including 1867, but Thanet's birth register only appears to have survived up to 1866! The records for both Unions are at the Centre for Kentish Studies in Ma
16. Re: [UK-W&H] Scottish Poor House Records [1]
Hi Bill and Jenny, Scottish records are very different from English and Welsh, mainly due to the fact that the poorhouse system itself was so very different. It was based more on a charity system of giving relief and not by the Poor Law Amendment Act 1834. Glasgow City Archives are currently in the process of entering the names of paupers applying for relief on to a database which is complete to 1901 and in progress to 1910. There are about 370,000 entries so far. There is a similar database of applications

Margaret, You mention completing your training in 1957 - only 9 years following the NHS. Do you have some old stories of the Hospitals and services provided then? I worked in a hospital formerly a workhouse, where many of the patients refused admission due to the continuing stigma. The wards were very old and facilites far less than the new modern buildings, but I have to say that the atmosphere and comraderie were far greater than in the new air conditioned luxury (this is just my experience). Although I a

Dear Mary Thank you very much for that information, I wonder could you tell me whether like the Union Workhouse's the Union Infirmary was also for poor underprivelidged people.

25. [UK-W&H] Union Workhouse Coity Parish [1]
Matilda Woods gave birth to Emily in 1879 in this workhouse. Had a look at the records for the Bridgend W.H. and find they do not start until 1894. The Cottage homes begin in 1879. Also found 7 Matilda's on St. Caths that may fit birth, 4 in optimal birth year 1854 BUT I do not know the parent(s). Isn't genealogy a wonderful relaxing pastime? 8-() Richard Parsons
