Looks like some of the records from 1855 to 1857 have been sold last year.

I wonder if Warwickshire Council Records have any information?
http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/yourcareinformation (scroll down to can I see my records)

I had a similar situation myself and I wanted to see some records of my family from the 1920's (different area). I wrote giving all the information I could to back up my connection and asked some questions. They wrote giving me some information, dates admitted/released, next of kin, addresses etc May be worth a letter :)
