Does anyone know if I can access any records of years gone by. By Granddad's brother shot my granddad in the nose - don't laugh hahahaha.... And Granddad was (obviously) taken to hospital, and it would be a great way of finding his brothers information which I'm a bit lost about. Annie in Southampton, who can't sleep..... |

Hi Annie - Still awake? I think there is 75 year closure on any hospital records, that's if they have survived. Have you checked the newspapers? With a story like that it had to have been reported! |

What a good idea, I'll have to do that one - perhaps tomorrow... Thank you so much... Also you you have any ideas where I could get old will information? And another... if there is a list of people who went to South Africa years ago on a boat early 1900's? Annie |

Hi Ann I have worked in the medical records department and l do know that in the hospital where l worked they only kept medical records open for 25 years after the last appointment that they had. However l also know that a lot of notes get microchipped nowadays. Also they are planning to computerise all medical records in the future, there is already a pilot scheme running |
