Hi board, Really struggling to find out where the following records relating to York Union Workhouse are kept. (1) Admissions and discharges for the period 1900-1912; (2) The Guardians' Minutes for the same years; and (3) Outdoor Relief application and report books for 1837-1929. In the first two cases, what I'm looking for in particular, are any records relating to York Union Workhouse Infirmary between 1900 and the end of 1912. According to Pete Higgingbotham's Workhouse site, they should be stored at York City Archives. Unfortunately, since the re-organisation, the place is in a pretty chaotic state, due to only around 20%+ of the their holdings being re-catalogued and a lack of local knowledge from the two archivists: the one that I've spoken to, by telephone and email had no knowledge of them or their whereabouts. Any help/tips would be very welcome. Thanks Mike

Hello Folks At last I have time to return to Yorkshire research and I'm also interested in the York Workhouse records... I believe a great aunt, Ida Dashfield nee Mintoft was the main cook at this facility which I understand was near/next door to the hospital.... Ida and her husband separated but never divorced and the family story is another lady Dashfield was also working in the kitchen and it turned out to be Mr Dashfield's second 'wife'!

Hello all, I asked my friends at the City of York & District Family History Society. Pam Elliot, the society's archivist, told me this -  "All I can suggest is to contact York Explore again and speak to Laura YEOMANS the Archives and Local History Manager, if she doesn't know I don't  know who can" We are aware that the new archive is still rebuilding the catalogue of holdings. The workhouse records are in there somewhere. I hope you will eventually be able to access them.
