Title: Updated London Poor Law records on ancestry
Post by: onlooker on Saturday 13 August 16 21:35 BST (UK)

I noticed this morning that "London, England, Poor Law and Board of Guardian Records, 1430-1930" on ancestry has been updated.

I have found some good information in this record set in the past, so naturally I wanted to see what had been added, but I can't find any details anywhere. Can anyone help?

Looking through, the only new data I have found so far is in:
   Borough: Hackney
   Parish or Poor Law Union: Hackney
   Record Type: Register of Inmates
There are 8 new sections:
   1781-1807
   Register of inmates in the Workhouse, 1791-1807 
   Workhouses and Institutions, 1887-1905 
   Workhouses and Institutions, 1887-1931 
   Workhouses and Institutions, 1899-1904 
   Workhouses and Institutions, 1899-1926 
   Workhouses and Institutions, 1904-1906 
   Workhouses and Institutions, 1906-1910 

If anyone else has noticed anything new then please post details here. It is a huge collection, mostly unindexed, so very time-consuming to search.

They seem to have added records for Southwark. And the Southwark parish/union list now includes Holborn and St Mary Islington!
