Suttons Hospital, Charterhouse Square
« on: Wednesday 13 December 23 12:21 GMT (UK) »
Hello  ;D

Does anyone have any experience of finding inmate/inpatient records for the above please?  I have a distant relative who was accepted into the almshouse for the last ten years of his life c1880 and I'd like to know more.  I think LMA hold the historical records but they are extensive so if anyone has already dipped a toe any tips/suggestions would be very helpful.  Thank you.

If you’re looking for personal details on admission, this is probably the volume you will need to search at LMA …

Sutton’s Hospital, Charterhouse
ACC/1876/PS/01/013
Admissions of pensioners.
Includes age, by whom admitted and date of death.
Indexed
1 volume
1833 – 1894

The other main series of pensioners’ records is too early for you (up to mid 1850s only).

You will either need to go in person, or engage someone to go on your behalf, or use LMA’s research service. As the volume is indexed, it shouldn’t take too long.

If you're looking for other, more general information on Charterhouse, it's probably best to email LMA with a specific query and ask what records they recommend you look at. This sort of general enquiry is answered free of charge.
