I've been browsing Ancestry's Poor Law records - what a wealth of information! It's not just admission & discharges to the workhouses - there are school records, where the children went after the school, information about fostering children, and more and more and more.
But it's inaccessible! There's no index beyond year and location.
Does anyone know if there are any plans for indexing the records? Even a volunteer effort? How can it be advocated &/or supported?
Also - does Ancestry's collection represent all surviving records? There are gaps.
