What is the position with regard to Stourbridge Union Workhouse records. Have they survived? Also has anyone else heard any more about the whereabouts of the workhouse records for West Bromwich which are listed as being at Smethwick archives. The last time I asked at Smethwick (quite a while back) they denied all knowledge of them. Rita
