Default Surrey Institutional Records 1788-1939 - findmypast

http://search.findmypast.co.uk/searc...ords-1788-1939

They say: Explore over 200,000 assorted records from 16 institutions across the English county of Surrey, including poor law unions, workhouses, schools, infirmaries, goals and more. Each result will provide you with a transcript of key details from the source material. The records cover 13 places in Surrey: Addlestone, Chertsey, Cobham, Dorking, Farnham, Godstone, Guildford, Hambledon, Redhill, Richmond Upon Thames, Southwark, Warlingham, and Woking.

I assume that when they say "goals", they mean "gaols"!

Thanks Kite.

This is really useful. Not much actually survives, but I've found an ancestor's son being forced to maintain him.

Interesting, I wonder if any Woking Asylum records are on here.

Warlingham - that will be the local asylum, then. Used to be a mental institution, then a drug rehab centre and now it's housing, though they've kept the clock tower.

Warlingham is about 2 miles from my ancestral gaff, it's where we went to the butcher and the baker (alas, no candle stick maker) and where my Dad is buried. But I won't find any ancestors in the records as Mum and Dad were born in Kent and Stoke Newington.

Probably not. Certainly Brookwood Asylum's records are not there. I found copious amounts on Margaret Broomfield, but the only references in this database are to her husband supporting her and date of her death. In fact, some of the material was already available on the Surrey History Centre site.

Yeah, I've not been able to find anything relevant, despite Woking being covered.
