Barnet Union Workhouse

[SwineTown]

I am looking for anyone who has seen records of this Union.
(apparently the basis for "Oliver Twist"!)

I wonder what might be available and if anyone posses and records themselves.

circa 1890 - 1910.

Take a look at workhouses.org.uk a wonderful site for all things to do with workhouses. Put Barnet in the search facility and you'll get some results :)
Best wishes

"I wonder what might be available and if anyone posses and records themselves.

The records are at Hertfordshire Archives. According to my notes precious little of genealogical interest has survived for the period you mentioned although some administrative records seem to exist.

For the definitive answer on what's available, you'd be best to contact the Archives.

Thnaks for the response. I had already found the site mentioned first by AnnB and irritatingly enough the page for Barnet is incomplete! Always the way.....

Its a shame that little has survived but I will plough on...
