Ancestry continues to expand its Birmingham records, adding 52,407 records on June 30 for All Saints Hospital, dedicated to the care and treatment of individuals living with mental illnesses.
Sourced from the Library of Birmingham, the newly accessible collection encompasses both patient registers, which aggregate information for multiple individuals, and personal case files, detailing individual patient histories. Those provide details such as their name, occupation, marital status, and precise dates of admission, transfer, discharge, or demise. Genealogical information, including the names of parents, spouses, and other familial relationships, may be present.
Ancestry now has 12 Birmingham collections, including two added in June, as well as those for Warwickshire and of broader scope, such as the censuses, which incorporate Birmingham information.
