Just to add that I've now reached Thomas's baptism with spotting a viable candidate for Rachel's

Hi Val, they're on FindMyPast

In general, Ancestry have the Middlesex & Surrey records that are held at LMA and Surrey History Centre, while FindMyPast have the records that are stored at the City of Westminster Archives

Looked through the images up to April 1736 (Page 103) so far without any luck

There are other Rachels and there are other Horns, but no Rachel Horns as yet

Unfortunately lunch break is over, so I'll have to finish the search a bit later

So, searching the Wesminster Baptism sets for Horn + variants with father Thomas, mother Sarah between 1734 +/- 10 years gives

30 Jul 1733 Mary Horn of Thomas & Sarah born Jul 25 1733
27 Jul 1736 Thomas Wate Horne of Thomas & Sarah born Aug 23 1736

both at St Martin's in the Fields


I'll try looking at the images between those dates but it's a very busy church, so even if I come up with nothing, it could do with a second pair of eyes as a check

Hi

The images are on findmypast under Westminster Baptisms

There are 11 Rachels baptised there between 1732 and 1736 , not an obvious Horn though

I'll have a closer look later

Hi

The county isn't in the index record, just the registration district

If you look on Ancestry it says "Inferred county" ie somebody guessed

Hi Jan

I'm wandering around St Pancras looking for my family's houses on Sunday, so if you haven't had an answer by then, I'll add an extra stop off at St John's Wood for you.

Hi again

Think I got all I could out of the Infirmary records

First went to the Index Register of patients H38/SG/B/05/002 and found

Name: Louisa Croft
Description: Widow of Thomas a Painter
Born: 1828
Admitted: 27/3/90
Discharged 31/3/90 Died

so tried again with the Admission & Discharge Register H38/SG/B/01/007 and found

Admission

Date: 27 March
Day of Week: Thursday
Name: Louisa Croft
Calling: W of Thomas
Religious Persuasion: A
Born: 1828
Class for Diet: 6 *
Admission: Workhouse

* Class for Diet is defined as corresponding 'with the Diet Table in use at the Infirmary'

Discharge

Date 31 March
Day of Week: Monday
Last Meal before Discharge: D **
Name: Louisa Croft 61
Class for Diet: 6
How Discharged: Dead

** forgot to write down what this stood for

Just to see what was there, I tried the Creed Register H38/SG/B/02/004 which gave

Date of Entry: 27 March 1890
Date of Admission: 27 March 1890
Christian & Surname: Louisa Croft
From where admitted: Havil Street Workhouse ***
Religious Creed : Church of England
Name of Informant: Self
Discharged or Dead: Died 31 March 1890

*** which distinguishes it from the Gordon Road Workhouse


Armed with this I tried for CABG/173/007 Old and New Workhouses, Havil Street: Admission and discharge register 17/3/1889 - 1890

but got a Document Provision Query failure which the staff said might be because it's lost, being repaired etc

Will try again when I next visit but as the /006 register only goes up to 1869 there's no guarantee that we'll find out the admission date even if the register becomes available
