St Johns Institute, Holloway
« on: Friday 23 June 06 22:20 BST (UK) »
Hi

I have a birth certificate showing place of birth as "St Johns Instutute, St Johns Road Hackney" in 1909

Was this a hospital?
Any ideas

Hi Babs

Could it be insitution rather than institute ???  There was a workhouse in St John's Road, Upper Holloway :-\

Quote
In 1869, a new workhouse was built on St John's Road in Upper Holloway -
The St John's Road Workhouse

Records

St John's Workhouse — Admissions and discharges (1866-1931); Creed registers (1869-1930); Births (1867-85, 1891-1933); Deaths (1867-1933); etc.
appear to be at the London Metropolitan Archives see http://www.workhouses.org.uk/ workhouse locations/London:Middlesex/Islington (St Mary)
