Dartford Union Workhouse, Kent
« on: Friday 15 February 08 08:04 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
I was interested to know if anyone else has any more in depth info on the Dartford Union Workhouse.
I found a relative WILLIAM ROE there in the 1901 census. I looked on google where I just found some general info about what life was like and some pictures, but how would I find out how long he was there or if there were records of him specifically?

thanks in anticipation,
LittleLondoner  Smiley

According to the excellent workhouse website

 http://www.workhouses.org.uk/


records are at the Centre for Kentish Studies, Maidstone and include:

 Guardians' minutes (1836-1930); Births (1898-1929); Deaths (1914-30); Creed registers (1869-1930); Register of lunatics (1891-1932); Punishments book (1914-1944)

You are unlikely to be allowed acces to records less than 100 years old.

one of my rellies was there on 1851 cenus.Presumably because his parents had died. He was discharge shortly after the census at the request of his grandmother.

Hi Gloryer,

That's interesting - have you managed to find out any more about him while he was there?
