Gillian,

As Chris said, Mary is away. However, I keep Mary's words of wisdom and
this is what I have for Kennsington

Kensington Workhouse, Marloes Road, Kensington, London (1881). Kensington

The staff records for Kensington workhouse have survived for that period
(1871-1931) and are held at the LMA. The following records for Kensington
are held at the London Metropolitan Archives: Guardians Minute Books 1838
-1930; Lists of Paupers 1877 - 1913.

Hope this helps.

Regards..
