thanks for answering at least, yes i have already seen that i suppose it might be worth me asking the LMA if they know of registers in 1866.

thanks

Hi Caron -- this isn't going to be a load of help, but might be interesting. And you might be familiar with it already, of course.

http://www.workhouses.org.uk/

In left hand menu --
- workhouse locations - English Poor Law Unions - London Middlesex - Bethnal Green


Records
* London Metropolitan Archives, 40 Northampton Road, London EC1R OHB. Holdings include:
o Waterloo Road Workhouse — Admissions and discharges (1919-35); Births (1878-1926); Deaths (1895-1935); Creed register (1869-1935); Registers of lost children (1897-1929); etc.
o Well Street Workhouse — Creed register (1891-1900).
o Leytonstone Children's Home Admissions and discharges (1915-37); Births (1901-14); Deaths (1869-95); Baptisms (1928-36); Punishments (1911-36); etc.
o Cambridge Heath Road Infirmary — Admissions and discharges (1879-1926); Creed registers (1900-18); Register of inmates (1900-15); etc.


It looks like deaths and the creed register don't go back to 1866.

I am trying to find any details for a john thomas who died in bethnal green workhouse in 1866 (aged 75) i think it is called waterloo road workhouse?

I have a death certificate but want to try to establish it is the correct person i am looking for, i think i need the creed registers perhaps?

is anyone able to tell me or help as i live too far away from the metropolitan archives to search for this

any help or advice would be greatly appreciated


thanks
