When researching that my great grandfather was taken into the care of the wandsworth Guardians in 1904 I discovered his father died in 'Tooting, Lord Raglan Home, Slades Green'. Is this a home for the poor and are there any surviving records? Gemma
I don't know of any homes being named after Lord Raglan. I don't think he was known as a benefactor. Mostly it is pubs which bear his name (including one in Slade Green). If there was a Lord Raglan home then the London Metropolitan Archives would be the starting point to enquire about it further.
thank you. I have discovered that Tooting Home and Lord Raglan are 2 different things. The Lord Raglan is a pub where one relative lived and Tooting Home was an invalid home. The full stopp wasnt readable. Thank you for getting back to me though. Gemma
