Help needed with LMA search facility please!

[Sue from Southend]

The LMA search engine has defeated me:o! I'm trying to find out if the LMA holds any records for this place (from 1871 census) "Central London District School for the Children Chargeable to the City of London" it was in Hanwell, Middlesex but housed poor children from the City and East London. There is info about it on the Workhouses website -apparently Charlie Chaplin was in there and Charles Dickens wrote about it but I can't find out what info the LMA have about it:(. Can anyone else find anything, please?

Try searching with the words - district school - and nothing else. It looks like they've got some registers

Thanks Jackie - I've got there in the end! I tried all sorts of combinations but obviously not the right ones! It looks as tho' they might have the original registers for the years I'm interested in - fingers crossed that they'll also tell me the names of the parents so I can work out whether they're mine or not!

Thanks again
