Don't know if anyone's seen this website.

It has case notes of 85,000 children admitted between 1852 when the hospital opened and 1914.

It's fascinating even if you don't find anyone you are looking for.

Oooh... I've just had a look and it looks fascinating! Will definitely register and have a look when I've got more time. Searched for my family names but nothing striking came up (maybe that's a good thing!). Thanks for the link Linda. Karen x

Thank you - well worth a look as the address of some of the children is given. Easy to put in the names you are researching - you never know you may find a family member. Regards Irene

I had a quick look and if I go back far enough and if i can find the connection in my tree (as it was a not so common name) then I might have had a relative in there for measles.
