Ancestry Adds London Medical Records

Ancestry’s newly published collection, London, England, University College Hospital and Middlesex Student Records, 1828–1945, offers access to over 87,000 records drawn from two of London’s leading medical institutions.

Although ‘Student Records’ is in the collection title, and there are some records for the event type ‘Education’, over 95% pertain to ‘Admission’ from Midwifery Case Registers from 1889 to 1917.

The search can be by last name, event date and gender. Although no first name is given for Admissions, the date will narrow the possibilities.

The linked register images contain a wealth of information, including address and medical details such as duration of labour, and comments, often containing obscure terminology.
