Title: kent workhouse records
Post by: kitto on Sunday 06 March 16 15:03 GMT (UK)

Hello,

I'm looking for workhouse records from 1800s, but I'm not sure whether any are available apart from London.
I have had difficulty finding information on the parents of my 3rd great-grandfather William Thomas Kitto b.1811 d.1869. I believe his parents were William Kitto b.1785 and Ann Trindall b.1788 (m.1807, st pauls, deptford, Kent)
I have another record for a child born to them in 1814 Sarah Elizabeth Kitto, whose baptism record from 'Deptford, St. Paul, England', shows their 'Abode' as 'workhouse'.

I can find no further record for Sarah Elizabeth Kitto or Ann Kitto beyond the 1814 baptism, so I was hoping that workhouse records from Deptford, Kent, might be available somewhere?

All help welcome! :)

According to this site Deptford came under Greenwich for the workhouses.

At the bottom of the page it tells you what papers remain but there does not seem to be anything that covers the period you want ie Sarah's baptism 1814 is not in the workhouse records on Ancestry
