From www.workhouses.org.uk
(An excellent site for Poor Law).

Records for Milton (Milton Regis) Union Kent

Centre for Kentish Studies, Sessions House, County Hall, Maidstone, Kent, ME14 1XQ. Holdings include: Guardians' minutes (1835-1930); Admissions and discharges (1835-1932); Births (1866-1912); Deaths (1893-1936); Creed register (1888-1914); Register of children in institution (1914-24); Addresses of friends of paupers (1902-28); Vaccination registers (1853-1929); etc.

They may be able to do a search/copies but will probably charge for the service.
