  • Gt. Ormond St. Hospital - online database

    Here's a web site which is new to me. You might find some of your Londoners here.

    Small and Special

    Very interesting especially the ones with case notes - very sad stories some of them.

          I got my log-in info immediately Heather. How frustrating for you when you've found something for your family.

          I've been looking for all my London families but haven't found anyone of mine. Don't know whether to be glad or sorry. I've been side-tracked into looking at all the results that come up, whether they are mine or not and some of them are so sad, especially if there are case notes.Starvation, poisoning,unmentionable diseases they can only have inherited from parents - it's terrible so, from that pount of view, I'm glad I can't find nay rellies.

          It's a fascinating site but it really brings home to you how bad conditions were.

                      I'm still waiting for my confirmation, perhaps everyone is registering at once.

                            My email was waiting in the time it took me to flip screens. Must just depend on the timing.

                              This website was pointed out before, and quite a few of us used it, but you didn't have to register then.

                              It must have got very popular.

                                Sorry - ignore that!

                                I have found that I was already registered and they have sent me a new password - within seconds!
