hi bow after reading this thread,i decided to google the hospital i was at when i was 15 months old after leaving this hospital i was adopted.managed to find the hospital and sent email to them asking if they still hold my records.there was also a request form i could fill in to obtain my records.hoping for a reply soon thanks every 1 hope this helps you bow

Thanks Liz, we are going to Wandsworth and Battersea to seek out info on his background!! Thankyou all so much for your help and advice!! Bow xx

Under the access to Health Records act your husband should be able to see and have copies of his records if the Hospital still has them. He will have to complete a form. The Hospital where I worked kept all records on Micro fiche which we would reproduce into paper. He could always contact the hospital in question and get some info. Hope that helps Liz

Thanks for your help Germaine Bow

I hope you can find an answer. Not sure but would it be on his medical records are you allowed access to those I have a feeling you might be. Might be worth a word with his doctor. Just a thought Good Luck Germaine x

Hi Everyone, i have been into a2a thankyou for that!!, he was born in Battersea, i looked up a map and found he was probably born in Chelsea Hospital, which is the hospital for Battersea!! The mystery is, his mother claims he was a very sick baby baby and spent 2 years in the hospital he was born in!! but when he was 7 his mother up and left without a word, i now want to find out if he was really sick as a baby or she just left him there cos she did'nt want him!! she had already had 9 children!! 5 boys and she did'nt like boys!! thanks to you all for help Bow

I agree with Pippa Bow. If you have his birth cert it should tell you were he was born. If you haven't got it you could try see if you can find it on 1837 online and get a copy. Germaine x

If it is your husband I presume that it wold not be 100 years ago. Have you got a copy of his birth cert and is there anyway we could help you with the mystery? Pippa

Hiyah, Acess to Archives go to search engine (google ) and put a2a then you can search by name or place amazing what you find I found a rellie up at court. Was able to get copy of court cost. in 1861 Germaine

Thanks Germaine Problem is it's my husbands birth!! mystery surrounds it!! He was born in Battersea and i cant find which hospital it is or was, no idea if it still exsist, i have tried all i can on the net but i don't know where to go from here. We are going to London in a couple of weeks, but i am not sure where to go or even if they are open to the public for viewing. But Thankyou for you help!! Love Bow

Hi Germaine Sorry , but what is a2a please? Thanks Ann

Some record offices hold hospital records and you are able to look at them if they have passed the closier date (100 years I think). If you go into a2a and put the name of the hospital it should tell you if a record centre hold the records. It will give a ref no. Germaine x

You're welcome Bow.sorry I couldn't help you direct. Ann x

Thanks Anne
