Thanks for the quick response. I thought I was going mad searching through the Ancestry card cat. to no avail! I have come across a few of these- it seems they batch update records and we have to wait until they get around to them. Indexing is somewhat poor on Ancestry also, so I always find using other search facilities useful (eg, familysearch)

The mother was Jane Holden, and the daughter would have been born on Oct 7th, 1884 at Queen Charlotte's hospital. She was unwed (father was James Smith). I am travelling to London after Easter and will visit the Metro. Archives, so have noted the references thank you :)

I have an ancestor who gave birth at Queen Charlotte's hospital in 1884. Later, the baby girl was successfully petitioned into the Foundling hospital and baptised again (?) and renamed. Do the Queen Charlotte hospital records show given name of baby- and what was the likely place an unmarried mother had their baby baptised if born at Queen Charlotte's? I cannot find any records via Ancestry searches. I also cannot find any registration for the baby. Any ideas gratefully received!

Do you still need info from the archives? I am heading there later this week and can do some research for you. I am very familiar with these records, which are excellent...you have a petition number which makes life much easier!
