Find Ancestors

Jan......great minds and all that! I was just going to do that when I decided to google the Springfield Hopsital for it's correct address and came upon the following......


SPRINGFIELD HOSPITAL, WANDSWORTH: CASE BOOKS AND INDEXES, 1849-c.1938; NETHERNE HOSPITAL, COULSDON: NEWSLETTER, 1975
Reference Number: 6367

Provenance
Deposited under the 1958 Public Records Act by the General Services Manager of Pathfinder Mental Health Services NHS Trust, Springfield University Hospital, in March 1997.
-
Introduction
In 1889 responsibility for Springfield Hospital was transferred from Surrey County Council to Middlesex County Council and, almost immediately, to the newly created London County Council.
-
The records
The LMA did not wish to retain the case books and it was decided that Surrey Record Office should keep those relating to the period when Springfield was a Surrey institution.


This is the link to the site.......gotta go for a while......back later....

automatic response from LMA so fingers crossed for a few days!!
We aim to answer 90% of enquiries within 10 working days, and 100% within 20
working days.

Cynthia Just managed to email LMA asking if they have staff records and if so what we might find in them

Hardly like to mention this as I´m sure someone will have found it before, but haven´t time to check right through the thread.

1871 6 Francis St Stornoway.
John Macleod 47
Ann Macleod 43
Robert Macleod 13
Allan Macleod 10
Catherine Macleod 8
Alex Murdo Macleod 6

Was Catherine Aunt Kate???
Her married name was Mackinnon & in 1881 she was without a husband, but had 4 children & her mother Annie Macleod living with her, still at 6 Francis St
Also, presumably Diane went to the same school as her cousins.
has anybody checked the schools for likely Donals & ishbels?

Have just googled the LMA but the site is running slow at the mo. Just wondered if they could be contacted by phone to save anyone the trip. Will keep you posted.

I think it's worth a go Jan. I will put a thread up now. Thanks. Every little helps.


Tabitha, we all feel pretty redundant on here at times I can you!


I am also going to contact my contact from Stornoway re the Nicolson Institute records - he was very helpful re looking for Diane under that name. I will ask if it's possible to have a list of girls born between 1904-1908. Hope there aren't hundreds of them :-S

also note closure dates for LMA

Annual stocktake closure

London Metropolitan Archives will be closed to the public from 4.45pm on Friday 28 October and will re-open at 9.30am on Monday 14 November 2011.

some info from site
Records of
Springfield Hospital, Bexley
Hospital (opened by the London
County Council in 1898), Horton
Hospital (opened by the London
County Council in 1902), Napsbury
Hospital (opened by Middlesex
County Council in 1905) and
Shenley Hospital (opened by
Middlesex County Council in 1934)
have also been deposited in LMA.
The records
of the Metropolitan Asylums Board
which are held by LMA are mainly
administrative, but they include
registers of staff employed at some
of their hospitals and asylums

Anything to do with Dover Castle - St James - or St Mary - Guston or Charlton

Let me know as i am focusing on that area at the moment & will be in the archive on Saturday - so i can do some digging for you

Was begining to feel redundant on this thread
My father-in-law worked at Dover Castle

You never know - i may turn up something there for you

At last i can be useful again - big sigh
:-D :-D :-D

Cynthia, i see FBG has asked at the hospital and someone has checked nurses records at Kew but i just wonder if there is anything different in records at London Met .Archives? will have a look again at info on the Met. site

Good morning all. Thanks for all the above. I have a feeling Robert Lockhart has been investigated. I've been trying to find the page but am off to the dentist soon :-(



Wonder if it's worth Fans finding that authority from Evelyn and giving those records another shot.........??? If she was giving them a sob story, they probably couldn't understand a word she said ;-)



I am wondering how to put all the information we have gathered into a sensible order. I know that the precis helped but I feel it needs to be more precise!


I had wondered about separate threads eg. the Robert MacLeod search - the info we have on schools - the MacLeod family from Tarbat - etc. but I am not sure all the other members would appreciate so many thread appearing.


I will do my best to get a more precise version of the precis done......my week doesn't look TOO bad ......... famous last words!



Mind you, we are all in this together, so to speak. If anyone would like to take a 'subject' eg. Robert - schools - family etc., I am willing to share the load :-D :-D

It just means trawling through the thread and picking out the relevant bits and putting them altogether.


Any other ideas very welcome.


:-D

Think it was me who looked at Kew re Nurses records.

What do you think about my suggestion above re the school? If we could get names/dob/addresses/next of kin of all girls born June 1904-1908 say, perhaps we can pin her down!

All that was on it was her name and the dates she worked there they said...

I can try to get the actual file if you like(when I find Evs letter of permission)But they were insistent that that was all it said.....And trust me they would have told me ALL that was on it after the sob story they got from me plus the constant phone calls..:)
Someone did spend some time at Kew (sorry,cant remember who)going through SRN records and other stuff but there are LOADS of books it would seem and they ran out of steam...

But it is most likely that she was just a carer or Auxillary nurse I would think...

Fans.........dearest..........




Can you remember if there was any more info to be had re Diane working at Springfield Hosp. See Jan's comments above.......
