I need a researcher on the ground to access records for 1872 onward for my ancestor who was a patient until her death in 1902. The family would like her case records for historical and medical information. If anyone can recommend a researcher I would be very grateful. Thank you.

Welcome to the British-Genealogy forums. This is The National Archives guide to the records you want. https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/h...d=1742&page=11
It seems Cheadle Hospital still has the relevant records. Contact details here

CherryWalker & Christina,

The lodge still remains although the shrubbery has filled out somewhat

as in Christina's message
Cheadle Royal Hospital...Clinical & Patients 1849 - 1954
It is now known as the Priory Hospital Cheadle Royal. You need to contact them.

I would be surprised if the NHS when selling the site to a private business 'sold' / left the confidential records in private hands
But how would one find out without asking The Priory first?

Thank you all for info & suggestions. I had no response from The Priory. A cousin who lives close by [but is visually impaired] telephoned but is still waiting for a useful lead.
