Islington Infirmary

[stevenwright02]

My ancestor William Prichard death certificate (1B, 199) says he died at Islington Infirmary (no address given) on 4th October 1878 – sub registration district; Islington East.

Would this infirmary be attached to St John's Road Workhouse?

If so, the London Metropolitan Archives holds the following records:

• ISBG/284/003 St John's Road Workhouse: Admission and Discharge Register (1876 – 1879)
• ISBG/277/002 Saint John's Road Workhouse: Admission and Discharge Register (1876 – 1879)
• ISBG/281/006 St John's Road Workhouse: Weekly Admissions (1877 – 1878)
• ISBG/283/005 St John's Road Workhouse: Weekly Admissions (Admission and Discharge Registers - chronological) (1878 – 1879)
• ISBG/282/006 Saint John's Road Workhouse: weekly admissions registers (1877 – 1878)
• ISBG/290/001 St John's Road Workhouse: Register of Deaths (1867 – 1888)

Aside from the obvious, what information may/would the registers contain and would they contain any family information e.g next of kin, known family etc.?

the London Metropolitan Archives holds the following records:

Yes but see also the Hospital Record Database. Reflecting the way in which the Union Infirmaries developed, eventually being amalgamated in the NHS, their records are usually found in a separate series from other Union records.
