Records for Hartfield Workhouse ?
« on: Sunday 29 August 10 22:06 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I'm currently researching my WHYTE/WHITE roots in the East Grinstead / Lingfield areas.
In the 1851 Census returns for Hartfield there are three WHITEs listed as inmates in the workhouse:

Eliza, born ca 1838
Maria, born ca 1840
Jane, born ca 1844

Are there any surviving records for Hartfield workhouse that might give me some more information ?

Many thanks,

/Ian

Ian,

The Parish of Hartfield records are at East Sussex Record Office under catalogue reference PAR/360.

I believe that at some point Hartfield came under the East Grinstead Union. Any records for East Grinstead are at West Sussex Record Office.
