Sheppey Union Workhouse
« on: Wednesday 01 February 06 06:21 GMT (UK) »
My GGG grandmother Angelina Bilbe was an inmate of the Workhouse on the 1901 Census and aged about 75.   I cannot find her death listed on any data bases.  Was wondering if anybody could look up the Workhouse records which are at the Centre for Kentish Studies

Hi,

Welcome to Rootschat.

Have a look at the Workhouse site below it will tell you where the records are kept and details of the workhouse  in Sheppey.

Kind Regards,

Thanks Frances,
I had actually found that one.  It tells me the records are  held by the Centre for Kentish Studies in Maidstone.  Bit of a long swim from Oz Cool

Hi dutyofficer,

The way a lot of us contact the holders of archives if they are a distance away is by the internet (if available) , telephone or normal postal mail. I am in the UK but cannot possibly get to the office holding the records I require so have I to be patient and hope that I get to the top of the list.....soon?

Hopefully in times to come records may become available on disc or online, there are very few at present.

Happy Hunting,

Frances Smiley
