The Hospital Records Database is at www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/hospitalrecords This shows the location of deposited hospital records, but others are probably still held by the various health authorities. Alan McGowan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Derek&Maureen" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2005 11:45 PM Subject: [HantsLife] Hospital records Hi everyone I have been made aware of a first cousin of my mum's that no-one in my generation had any knowledge of until recent years. Due to a severe physical condition, he appears to have spent a great deal of time in hospital care. I know that people have been able to access hospital records at times. Can anyone advise, please, how open this is. Is it at the discretion of the hospital or does it depend on information not being divulged within a certain time-frame etc, etc. Any suggestions/experiences along these lines would be helpful. I have tried 'googling' without success. I assume the hospital no longer exists. Maureen, NZ

Hi Hampshire Life list members. Tomorrow, 25 August is the 60th birthday of Chris Hayles, just in case anyone wishes to send him best wishes! Deirdre in a chilly and wet Romsey

Is anyone tracing the Newmans, who were at Netley Marsh at least by 1859? My great-grandparents, William (b.1837) and Eleanor (nee Avery) were married at Netley Marsh 19 March 1859 and my grandfather Sydney (1868-1958) baptised there. Am trying to find out more about the family. Thanks! Roger.

Wow you Guy's, you certainly came out tops on the Biddlecombe clan. Some of the posts contained information I already had, but Rod Whale gave me some new leads that opened other lines of research. Thank you all for your help, but then again I know what a great bunch you are so it was no surprise..... Len

See www.institutions.org.uk/prisons/England/HAM/hampshire_prisons.htm This states that HMP Portsmouth opened in 1878, but there is also a link to a page about Portsmouth Gaol in 1847/48. Portsmouth Gaol is in the 1861 census listing at www.parishchest.com/en-gb/dept_713.html You could also try the Prisons Mailing List.

Hi I have a very big ask of anyone who is in a position to be able to go to a relevant repository (probably the HRO) to decipher 36 surnames and some parents that I have been unable to read from the fiche I have of the Parish Records of Petersfield as I have transcribed over 10.000 baptisms for this Parish I guess 36 unreadables are not too bad, but I would really love to complete them before adding to the website if possible, so am begging please. I have been able to read all the dates and all but 5 are in the nineteeth century. I asked the HRO but they wanted to charge £22 per hour, which is not possible.
